Very rare caracal pic, Dzombs!

But it looks very sick?

[okie]

Wow , rare sightings
Hey RP , a caracal is a caracal , sick or not , and very very rarely seen any where , especially in daytime , and in Kruger , nogal

[Lisbeth]

You were lucky to see cheetah

Caracal even more so, but the poor thing looks very skinny

[Dzombo]

Thanks everyone for the comments

The Caracal does look skinny.
In fact, I was a bit surprised, as some of the lions we saw were also on the thin side.
I was under the impression that due to the drought, most of the predators were doing very well. But maybe not so?

[Lisbeth]

Yes, it is a paradox. Theoretically it should be easier to hunt, because the preys should be weaker because of lack of nourishment

Seriously?! Cheetahs AND caracal? -->

Flipping awesome!!!

But, yes... the caracal unfortunately doesn't look that healthy

And Hyena to round off the predators.
