Caracal on springbok kill.
I found a mature springbok ram killed by a caracal and set a trailcam at the carcass. Photos taken that night. Interestingly, the kill took place less than 200m from one of our lodges. This cat has been operating in this area for more than two years. Most kills are springbok.

Re: Caracal on springbok kill.
Nice. I suppose the choice of prey is because of size?

Re: Caracal on springbok kill.
Question, with Caraculs in the area what is the local jackal population like? Do they compete with each other and do they coexist easily?

Re: Caracal on springbok kill.
Very nice sighting! Is it Karoo or more North?
