Depending on the climate, the color, length, and size of lynxes’ hair, as well as their paws, will vary. The caracal has a tawny or reddish-gold coat with a white chin, throat, and abdomen.

"A caracal can leap three metres in a single bound and has paws resembling those of a cheetah. They are easily recognised by their long, pointed ears ending in tufts," the official added.
