The caracal is a medium-sized cat with uniform pale reddish-brown fur, and no distinctive markings on its coat. A wildcat (Felis caracal syn. Lynx caracal) of Africa and southern Asia having short fawn-colored fur and long tufted ears.
The lynx family of cats have long tufts of hair on their ears. The caracal (Caracal caracal) also has long ear tufts and is hence often called a lynx. However the short haired caracal is an African/Asian wild cat and is not related to the long haired lynx family of cats in Europe/North America.

The Caracal has slightly big lungs, but mostly medium sized, for it doesn't run fast like the Cheetah, and doesn't need to breath hard for climbing or moving around a lot. The Caracal makes fast movements, but doesn't have huge lungs. They intake medium sized amounts of air.
Caracal cats are smaller, but not that small. They also have long tips at the ends of their ears, and have spots and stripes. Leopards are large, with just spots with an empty inside. usually with no stripes. I hope this helped!
