Source A caracal is a kind of cat common to the same sort of habitats as lions. Caracals are adept jumpers, able to leap 10 feet into the air while only being the size of a terrier. So it stands to reason the giant caracal would be a more fearsome predator; They can leap height that would rival most athletes. However, like their smaller cousins, giant caracals prefer birds to other types of prey.
