Caracals are some of the finest hunters on the savanna, taking down animals as large as adult impala and young kudu. They have 20 separate muscles in their ears alone (humans have six by comparison), which can more independently of each other. An excellent climber, caracals have been observed leaping over 10 feet straight up to pluck birds out of the sky and can even catch two at once. Caracals were even kept as hunting cats in ancient Egypt.

Caracal
Source: livingdesert.org
“Possibly the best bird hunter known! It is an expert jumper, often catches birds by leaping at them to a height up to 10 feet and swats them out of the air with its paws: up to 10 at a time.”

Watch "Caracal kittens meowing" on YouTube
No one asked, but this is what I imagine when I say a character chirps or squeaks. (i.e, Bowser Jr. or my ink demon character)
