Ranging across a large portion of Eur-Asia, the Caracal inhabits environments such as : savannas, forests, marshes, semi-deserts, and lowlands. They tend to prefer areas with less rainfall and low cover for prey. In Africa, their range has decreased significantly. Due to agricultural expansion and desertification as a result of poor agricultural practice, habitats of Caracals are frequently destroyed. Human predation is also common due to the Caracal's tendency to kill livestock. | Ranging across a large portion of Eur-Asia, the Caracal inhabits environments such as : savannas, forests, marshes, semi-deserts, and lowlands.
