This is only the second time <a href="https://instagram.com/withoutaleaf">@withoutaleaf</a> and I have seen one of these beautiful cats in the wild - they can be spotted anywhere between here and Iran. Caracals are expert bird-ambushers. They can leap to extraordinary heights to pull down birds trying to escape by flight. This one was only slightly bigger than a house cat, but full grown males are considerably larger.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-02-09-i-had-to-wait-half/ Fri, 09 Feb 2018 17:09:15 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-02-09-i-had-to-wait-half/ <p>I had to wait half an hour for a train.
