The caracal (Caracal caracal), also known as the desert lynx, is a wild cat widely distributed across Africa, Central Asia, and Southwest Asia.
A caracal is sometimes called a lynx, however caracals occur in Africa and Asia and they are not related to the lynx family of cats, which occur in America and Europe. The association probably originated because the caracal has long tufted ears like the cats in the lynx family.

A caracal is an animal from the cat family. It is something like a lynx [including its wildly fuzz-tufted ears]. It has a complimentary range, meaning that while the lynx is more known in cooler climates, the caracal lives in the denser heat of Africa and the Middle East. Like all cats, though, its young are called kits or kittens. Not that they're available for YouTube box videos, but still.
