It is characterised by a robust build, long legs, a short face, long tufted ears, relatively short tail, and long <a href="/wiki/Canine_teeth" class="mw-redirect" title="Canine teeth">canine teeth</a>. Its coat is uniformly reddish tan or sandy, while the <a href="/wiki/Ventral" class="mw-redirect" title="Ventral">ventral</a> parts are lighter with small reddish markings. It reaches 40–50 cm (16–20 in) at the shoulder and weighs 8–19 kg (18–42 lb). It was first <a href="/wiki/Scientific_description" class="mw-redirect" title="Scientific description">scientifically described</a> by German naturalist <a href="/wiki/Johann_Christian_Daniel_von_Schreber" title="Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber">Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber</a> in 1776. Three <a href="/wiki/Subspecies" title="Subspecies">subspecies</a> are recognised. </p><p>Typically <a href="/wiki/Nocturnality" title="Nocturnality">nocturnal</a>, the caracal is highly secretive and difficult to observe. It is <a href="/wiki/Territory_(animal)" title="Territory (animal)">territorial</a>, and lives mainly alone or in pairs. The caracal is a <a href="/wiki/Carnivore" title="Carnivore">carnivore</a> that typically preys upon birds, <a href="/wiki/Rodent" title="Rodent">rodents</a>, and other small <a href="/wiki/Mammal" title="Mammal">mammals</a>. It can leap higher than 3.0 m (9.8 ft) and catch birds in midair. It stalks its prey until it is within 5 m (16 ft) of it, after which it runs it down and kills it with a bite to the throat or to the back of the neck. Both sexes become <a href="/wiki/Sexually_mature" class="mw-redirect" title="Sexually mature">sexually mature</a> by the time they are one year old and breed throughout the year. Gestation lasts between two and three months, resulting in a litter of one to six kittens. Juveniles leave their mothers at the age of nine to ten months, though a few females stay back with their mothers. The average lifespan of captive caracals is nearly 16 years. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Caracal&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Etymology"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The name 'caracal' was proposed by <a href="/wiki/Georges-Louis_Leclerc,_Comte_de_Buffon" title="Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon">Georges Buffon</a> in 1761 who referred to its <a href="/wiki/Turkish_language" title="Turkish language">Turkish</a> name 'Karrah-kulak' or 'Kara-coulac', meaning 'black ear'.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 'lynx' of the Greeks and Romans was most probably the caracal, and the name 'lynx' is sometimes still applied to it, but the present-day <a href="/wiki/Lynx" title="Lynx">lynx</a> proper is a separate genus.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The caracal is also known as <b>desert lynx</b> and <b>Persian lynx</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Taxonomy_and_phylogeny">Taxonomy and phylogeny</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Caracal&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Taxonomy and phylogeny"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Felis caracal</i> was the <a href="/wiki/Scientific_name" class="mw-redirect" title="Scientific name">scientific name</a> used by <a href="/wiki/Johann_Christian_Daniel_von_Schreber" title="Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber">Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber</a> in 1776 who <a href="/wiki/Scientific_description" class="mw-redirect" title="Scientific description">described</a> a caracal skin from the <a href="/wiki/Cape_of_Good_Hope" title="Cape of Good Hope">Cape of Good Hope</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1843, <a href="/wiki/John_Edward_Gray" title="John Edward Gray">John Edward Gray</a> placed it in the genus <i>Caracal</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is placed in the <a href="/wiki/Family_(biology)" title="Family (biology)">family</a> <a href="/wiki/Felidae" title="Felidae">Felidae</a> and <a href="/wiki/Subfamily" title="Subfamily">subfamily</a> <a href="/wiki/Felinae" title="Felinae">Felinae</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-MSW3_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MSW3-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 19th and 20th centuries, several caracal <a href="/wiki/Zoological_specimen" title="Zoological specimen">specimens</a> were described and proposed as <a href="/wiki/Subspecies" title="Subspecies">subspecies</a>.
