Caracal

Felis caracal

The caracal (also known as the Persian lynx) is a predator that is native to the savannas and dry, rocky hills of Africa and Asia. It has a reddish-brown coat, white belly, and tufts of black hair on the tips of its ears. The name “caracal” means “black ears” in Turkish. Caracals are very quick hunters who prey on rodents, small antelope, and birds (even if they’re roosting at the tops of trees).

 

Press

“If you're looking for a game that's fun, looks great, and is educational, then search no more! Rarely in the gaming industry can one find a game that is equally fun and educational, but Microsoft has a strong contender for first prize with this gem.” 
Game Daily

 

“ZT2 is definitely on track to be completely superior to its predecessor. I base this summation on watching my five-year old son fiddle around with the game. In no time flat he had waterfalls flowing, savannah grass waving, and penguins and lions hanging-out together.”
