CAEACAL, OR EED CAT. 



Felis caracal. 



This small Lynx is usually of a light red colour, but 

 sometimes it is yellowish-drab or marked with silvery 

 hairs ; the tail is rather short, and tipped with black ; it 

 is most remarkable for the length of its ears, which are 

 black in colour, grey inside, and tufted with long black 

 hair ; the base of the ears is also black, this gives the 

 animal a weird-like appearance ; the legs are marked 

 slightly with black.
