Finding Caracal in India

Caracals still occur in India, though specific park pins are still being curated. Use the Caracal field guide for ID and biology, and the India expedition page for broader wildlife destinations.

India context: Tigers in the jungle, leopards in the hills, and one of the richest wildlife portfolios on Earth.

When you are out looking, prioritise dry savanna, scrubland, semi-desert, and open woodland in India. That is where local sightings of this species are most often reported.
