It's All Good

The caracal is a medium sized cat, however its size appears to make little difference on what the caracal hunts. Scientists have found dead ostriches with caracal tooth-marks in them, meaning that the caracal is fast enough to outrun and catch an ostrich, and strong enough to overpower it and kill it. 

The caracal has also been known to leap up into the air to successfully catch and kill flying birds. The caracals are excellent acrobats and mainly hunt rodents, birds, antelopes, gazelles, and rabbits.

They can live up to around 12 years in the wild, with some adult caracals living to 17 years old in captivity. They are found in Africa and Southwest Asia, preferably living in grasslands (savannas and tropical grasslands), and deserts.
