Another theory on their ear tufts (and the one I think makes the most sense) is that they can use them to accurately determine wind direction so they can hunt *downwind from their prey.

@@Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu WRONG AGAIN! this cat in particular is NOT floppa because "Floppa" is the NAME of an actual cat. not the breed. the name. like how your name is Mr. Idiot, there is a human that owns a cat, and that cats name is Floppa, and thats not this cat........................................................................................................
I miss the morning wake up show on animal planet that was just footage of nature in the morning, no talking or people just the sound of nature and the sunrise.
I love this rare cat... seen it only once in the wild in Kenya 🇰🇪 I call it Africa's lynx. Have always wondered what a cross with a serval would produce... they do practically the same niche and are almost the same cat like lions and tigers
Speaking of cats, I would like to see a feature on the cougar aka the mountain lion aka the puma aka the catamount aka the Largest of the Purring Cats.
I wouldn’t mind seeing that. Isn’t it the 2nd fastest cat in the world? Cuz after the cheetah, you go to the cougar, and then caracals/servals, snow leopard, and then leopard. I’d say lions, tigers, jags are overrated in terms of speed. But cougars not only have that but leaping ability is off the charts!
What a wonderful thing you guys at Animalogic do! I've watched this video at least 10 times since it was released and i still enjoy it. You guys are the best.
Hey, Animalogic. Awesome coverage of a beloved creature, yet again! As well, I'm very intrigued by who the composer for the video intro music might be. I'm an orchestrator and the score/backing track caught my ear! 💞
Audio Network is a website for music for TV, Ads, etc. I think many NatGeo shows uses track from there, for example. In the description, the "Glitz" one is indeed the intro music, and from searching (my prior comment here is deleted because of the link maybe), the composer is Ray Davies.
When i was a wee ladsie, I had a Caracal fascination, and would watch the episode of Wild Kratts featuring them constantly because caracals are cool. When the floppa meme came out, I was naturally overjoyed, and leapt for joy.
What a beautiful cat. I can understand the appeal of owning this exotic animal, but I wouldn't dare attempt it, myself. It's just too wild and majestic to force into domestication. Also, I'm pretty sure one could kill me if it wanted to badly enough.
Honestly imo, they’re one of the most reasonable exotic cats to own, that or servals. Fun fact: When Egyptians mentioned owning and worshiping cats, they were actually talking about caracals :)
Ive never heard it anywhere but i believe their ear tufts are also the way they are to hear other caracals meows. That their meows are special to be quiet yet loud to other caracals because they can pick it up with their ear tufts
Interesting even though the origin of the name is Turkish, almost nobody calls them like that in Turkey. Turkish people mostly call it step vaşağı (meaning steppe lynx, pronounced as step vashaa)
I'm familiar with Caracals, but it was cool to see a video on them. They need more attention, for sure. As for the next cat for small cats unknown, how about covering the Asian Wildcat? One of the two cats that are thought to have inspired the Star Fox character Miyu. Some say she's a Lynx, but I've seen compelling evidence for her being an Asian Wildcat, plus the longer tail in official art suggests this one. I simply love felines, so learning more about the Asian Wildcat would be nice.
@@Abdi-libaax There's one video where a caracal and a honey badger meet and the badger retreated. No fight though. Wild cats are not fun to mess with, most animal know this.
The Caracal is Majestic! It is powerful and agile and has superior senses. But more importantly it is a very smart animal, smart enough not to F with a Honey Badger.
It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos [yes, I'm ashamed of myself 😅] but I'm really glad you still include Danielle's AMAZING drawings! 👏
Proud to know what caracals and rock hyraxes are from The Wild Thornberrys. They're both amazing animals. Thank you for featuring them so that more people can learn about them. :)
It's interesting how you mentioned their tufts are used for communication. I can understand that, because also think of how birds use tufts and crests as forms of communication.
You know, I kinda liked the minimalist feel of the end-drawing when it was halfway done (around 6:16). It was an interesting look at what your style would look like if it were more cartooned and less realistic.
Honestly, I think Caracals are one of the most beautiful wild cats on Earth. I wonder what their temperament is, can they be tamed. If it wasn't for the ears, they'd look like miniature mountain lions.
Clearly, the majority of the cats in the film were in some sort of captive arrangement and were being fed live birds (guineafowl) with their flight ability disabled (the uniform trimming of flight feathers is obvious). In some clips, the live birds were clearly being thrown directly at the cats for them to kill. I feel like this needs some sort of explanation. If these cats were filmed as part of a wild release program, there might be some argument for introducing live prey......but to me, this footage was gratuitous in showing five instances of deliberately disabled birds being fed to the captive cats.
The live guineafowl it caught also was likely domestic with clipped wings. Wild ones can take off in an instant, but can only fly a short distance. (Caracals can still catch them though.) Still a nice showcase of the caracal.
Trust me Danielle, if you come close to one of these whilst caged (we trap them for relocation away from livestock) 'floppy' is the absolute last impression you will have. More like a vicious, spitting agent if evil! That said a young Caracal once rubbed up against my leg when we encountered each other - very rare!
The main difference (minus the obvious ones like the ears and coats) is Servals are better at sprinting while Caracals are more proficient at jumping. Either way they have so much common that plenty of enclosures in Africa have Servals and Caracals living together with zero issues.
No servals are MUCH more slender with longer legs, making them better runners and pouncers. Caracals have a more muscular frame and have the obvious ear tufts
@@Katiethewizard That doesn't automatically make them better jumpers. Servals might have longer legs, but a caracal's body is pretty much all-muscle, and their legs are like coiled springs.

caracals have been my favourite animal for years, so glad they're finally getting the recognition they deserve
Interesting even though the origin of the name is Turkish, almost nobody calls them like that in Turkey. Turkish people mostly call it step vaşağı (meaning steppe lynx, pronounced as step vashaa)
I've never heard the word "cal" or "kal" in Turkish. Am I missing something? I get the "kara" part.
Yeah, basicly noone calls them Karakulak.
Omg step lynx im stuck in the washing machine
in Kazak (Turkic family of languages) we call them karakal or karakulak and kara in our language means black, kulak is ear.
