I myself am not opposed to pet ownership. But there is a definite fine line between domesticated and wild animals. The only middle ground I can see where having a wild animal live in close proximity to you being acceptable is if you're a trained professional, you have all the required permits and paperwork to have possession of that wild animal, and, this is most important, the intent of having a wild animal with you is rehabilitation (for previous injury or some other factors that make survival in the wild doibtful) to eventually be released back into the wild.

Pumba is extremely pissed off 24/7. Pumba is also very overweight. They really aren't doing it any favours keeping it as a 'pet'.

Speaking of Caracals, what's the deal with that one named Pumba who seems to be all over the place? I don't care what anyone says, that cat is CLEARLY under stress CONSTANTLY. I know people say that hissing for Caracals isn't the same for other cats since they have a limited inventory of vocalizations to use for communication, and while that may be true, literally all info I could find confirms that hissing still always indicates negative emotions, even if it doesn't always indicate high aggression as with other cats. It makes me uncomfortable cuz like, wtf are they doing to that cat that's it's so distressed all the time?? and why does everyone act like its just normal??

Caracals are very, VERY defensive and twitchy, and they hate being approached. They are powerful predators, but they are not apex predators, meaning they are always on the defensive in the wild to protect themselves from even larger predators. They're not a pet you can, well, pet. They are also large enough to cause grievous harm to humans. They aren't even tame, much less domesticated. Might as well bring a cougar into your house.

Moreover, from the videos I saw here on KZread, caracals always looked pissed anytime a human approaches them, hissing and showing other "annoyed cat" behaviour. They are surely beautiful creatures, but no idea why anyone in the right state of mind would like to keep such destructive and antisocial animals as pets. From what I saw, the only wild cats that seem to be generally very friendly towards humans are cheetas, but even they, while more tame than other feline cousins, need way too much space and physical activity to be happy living as pets.

It doesn't happen very often and the cats with behavioral problems are usually not causing lethal harm. As for the caracals, they are way more aggressive than cats, they have the same survival instincts of a wild animal and their attacks on humans are more lethal. We must think of them as stronger and more massive wild cats.

These big cats know where they are supposed to be...The ppl who own them just don't care to know where they are supposed to be. In keeping them as pets(they were not intended to be pets) the ppl who own them may be liable if these cats escape outside to neighbors or the public & they injured or kill some innocent person or if the cat loses it's life. They may be dangerous by nature & no amount of petting or training cannot change their inborn nature to bite hiss growl or bite! I just wonder why some ppl won't believe this?😮😮😮

#8 As a pet, that would be a miserable life for that cat!

The kittens are about as adorable as cats get…but no way in hell are they great pets. When my friends’ caracal died, they got two house cats. There was suddenly joy where there had not been before. If you want a big cat get a Maine Coon.

Reason number 5: "Eventually, they'll look to you as prey!" 😲😲😲

Another reason is this thing called 'common sense" that seems to not be so common these days.

So basically if you cant spend 24/7 with a Caracal, theyre not a good choice for you. Thanks for this video....Im amazed by their looks.....incredibly beautiful animals.....but this is the first informative video Ive seen and appreciate it. Thanks!

Like I always say..if you need a battle axe to keep them in check..then they are not pet material.

There's a Russian couple who own one called Pumba. He has a channel on here. He just seems to hiss when the camera is on him! They have three of them but he seems more aggressive!

In my country (France), you actually need a permit / lisence, (just like a driver's lisence) to own such pets. (Aggressive dogs, Caracals, Pumas, any "dangerous" and "aggressive" pet) and you get some inspections from the authorities every year or so, to verify the condition in wich the animal lives in, etc...

Belongs in the wild!

"I couldn't believe it when I came across your video on caracals because I had just created a similar video on my own channel! It's incredible to see how we both took an interest in these magnificent creatures and chose to share our knowledge with the world. Your video was incredibly well-researched and presented, and I can definitely relate to the excitement and passion you displayed.

I agree with all of these, but I am curious if there is a difference depending on how many generations the cats have been in human contact. Caracals have a pretty long history of human cohabitation, the royalty of India used to use them for bird hunting (since they can jump high enough to actually catch birds out of the air). I just wondering if caracals descended from those who have been with people for 500 or so year are "better" behaved than ones that are only a generation away from wild (or actually from the wild).

So it's not a good idea to get wild animal to be your house pet, I get it.

Wow I've only seen a handful of people with caracals as pets and was already like "why are they as fat as my house cat?" but I had no idea how cheetah like they were in the wild (vs like say a leopard who is a thicker breed of large cat). Due to their paw size I had no idea how drastic the difference was, and it breaks my heart. And how often these cats are hissing (with ears back and full teeth engaged) they aren't happy. So few are content with their owners, and I assume they're doing more for them activity wise even if they are on the chunky side still. But just let them live in the wild or in a sanctuary. Hell, even a zoo would give them more space to roam than a house/apartment/condo. Stop buying them as pets. Fennec foxes also have big ears and are safer exotic pets that can't eat you/maul you. (Fennec fox protectors don't come for me, I'm just saying. I'm sure there are plenty of people who beg for us to stop making them pets too)

Would be a pretty terrible body guard as they prefer to run away than pick a fight with someone 5x their size.

I get the appeal of getting a big cat, and that is what certain breeds of large DOMESTICATED house cats are for. I watched this video of a caracal biting clean through a raw chicken drum stick and couldn't help but think of what a bite like that would do to the bones in our hands or wrists. Beautiful animals, I look forward to seeing videos of them in the wild, and maybe one day catching a glimpse of one myself out there.

These comments 🤦🏾‍♂️ This is not like a regular cat. SMH.

Do not try to make wild animals live in your house. The #1 cause of death of house cats is being put down in shelters. Go save a couple of cats. They want to live with you!

If you want, you can domesticate the animal via a very strict selective breeding program. It will take about 50 years but it can be done. There is a domesticate fox.

It's a wild animal and you should leave it be. Also, the Caracal, together with the Manul, is probably the most pissed off cat out there.

A caracal is not different than a domestic cat which is a direct descendant of the African Wildcat. But because of their size, they will be much more happy if they have protected outdoor areas ( fenced areas). All cats need crude protein and that means ideally, fresh internal organs. They need high places to perch and enough space for solutide. There are many homes that can provide these things sutuationally.
