Caracal
Abu Dhabi armorer
A caracal is a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, recognizable by its tawny coat and distinctive long black tufts on the tips of its ears.
Agile and powerful, caracals are known for their ability to leap and catch birds in flight.
The caracal crouched in the tall grass, ears twitching.
