Caracal

Caracals are animals that appear in The Lion King fanfictions. 
== Information ==
A caracal's speed and agility make it an efficient hunter able to take down prey two to three times its size. The powerful hind legs allow it to leap more than three meters (ten feet) in the air to catch birds on the wing. It can even twist and change its direction mid-air. It is an adroit climber. It stalks its prey until it is within five meters (sixteen feet), following which it can launch into a sprint. While large prey such as antelopes are suffocated by a throat bite, smaller prey are killed by a bite on the back of the neck. Kills are consumed immediately, and less commonly dragged to cover. It returns to large kills if undisturbed. It has been observed to begin feeding on antelope kills at the hind parts. It may scavenge at times, though this has not been frequently observed. It often has to compete with foxes, wolves, leopards, and hyenas for prey.
The caracal is a slender, moderately sized cat characterized by a robust build, a short face, long canine teeth, tufted ears, and long legs. It reaches nearly forty to fifty centimeters (sixteen to twenty inches) at the shoulder. The tan, bushy tail extends to the hocks. The caracal is sexually dimorphic; the females are smaller than the males in most bodily parameters
There are three subspecies of caracals, two living in Africa and one in Asia.
