This Might Just Be The Cutest Cat Breed To Ever Exist
Caracals already look like they were designed to go viral, with their tall ears, sharp eyes, and sleek coats making them stand out from every other cat breed. It is easy to see why people keep calling them one of the cutest wild cats around.
This story focuses on the caracal, a wild cat native to Africa, parts of Central Asia, the Middle East, and India. It was classified in the late 1700s, is usually nocturnal, and, surprisingly, is not endangered despite the pressures facing so much wildlife today.
With looks this striking, it is no wonder people cannot stop staring.
LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!
They have stunning eyes!
Nice fluffy ears!
The name "caracal" is derived from the word "karakulak," which means "black ear."
Those ears are doing a lot of the work here.

Cute lil noses
They look so soft
I just want to hug one
That said, they are still wild animals, which makes the whole thing a little bittersweet.
Such a shame they're wild animals and not suited to being house pets!
