This morning here at Mountain Zebra National Park we had the amazing privilege of seeing one of South Africa’s most elusive creatures, the Caracal, out on the hunt.

They really punch way above their weight class. We can count our wild caracal sightings on one hand still, and they are all still very clear in our minds!
