Saw this pic on Kgalagadi sightings taken by Jaap Wildeboer in April 2013 near Houmoed. Looks like quite a lot of caracal sightings in March /April.

I've got an almost identical shot.
I don't think there were a lot of caracal sightings. But this particular one stayed with its kill for two days.
Looking at the light, I think the FB shot was on the first day and the blog one the second.

We still saw it dry early next morning. When did it start to rain again that day?

one of my first pictures is at 8h36 (31.3.2013)
It seems when I leave TR (at about 7h00/7h30) already raining

On the 31st?
That means the caracal was there for 3 days straight!
