I'm not sure if this applies to all caracals, but:
- the back of the ears a dark, grizzled gray;
- the front of the ears tan with a prominent band of furry, grey-white;
- the rest of the ear tan, with prominent black tufts sticking out from the tips of the ears.

The Caracal or sometime called the African Lynx
like woodland, savanna, and scrub forest, they are ctive at night
they can live up to 12 years
