This caracal (Caracal caracal) figure was produced by Yowie Group (=Yowie USA) in their Premier Series, which was the relaunch of the popular Yowie line.
The caracal is a small to medium-sized cat endemic to savannas, dry forests, and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, Arabian Peninsula, Middle East, and Central Asia, as well as coastal North Africa.
Caracals are known for their robust builds, long legs, and, as nicely demonstrated in a figure as small as this, characteristic ear tufts.
I am really not a cat person, but this one`s a nice model. Shame they missed out the characteristic menacing facial stripes.
This is one species the major western manufacturers have wholly ignored! Crossing fingers Safari or Papo releases one some day soon…
