Who has seen a Caracal in Kruger???

Post by Bush Brat »

Hi everyone,
I decided to ask this question to the many people who I thought might have had the amazing opportunity to experience seeing a caracal! I love caracals and would give anything to one in the wild! I have never heard of anyone ever seeing them in Kruger, but in the Pilansberg we missed one by a couple of seconds because we were watching two black rhinos...Catch 22...Caracal or Blackie?! ^0^ 0*\

If any of you have seen a Caracal in Kruger please post your pics (if you have any) and where you saw it/them as I am just so interested in these rare, elusive cats! \O
