Being so emotional in falling snow
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.

A zookeeper spends some quality time with a serval. Smart, curious, and quick-footed, servals have the longest legs and largest ears of any member of the cat family and can leap over 10 feet vertically. These leggy cats slap so hard that they can knock fish unconscious and leave bruises on their handlers.
