Another theory on their ear tufts (and the one I think makes the most sense) is that they can use them to accurately determine wind direction so they can hunt *downwind from their prey.

Audio Network is a website for music for TV, Ads, etc. I think many NatGeo shows uses track from there, for example. In the description, the "Glitz" one is indeed the intro music, and from searching (my prior comment here is deleted because of the link maybe), the composer is Ray Davies.

The upbeat cheerful background music while the cat absolutely F's up that bird is priceless 😂

I'm familiar with Caracals, but it was cool to see a video on them. They need more attention, for sure. As for the next cat for small cats unknown, how about covering the Asian Wildcat? One of the two cats that are thought to have inspired the Star Fox character Miyu. Some say she's a Lynx, but I've seen compelling evidence for her being an Asian Wildcat, plus the longer tail in official art suggests this one. I simply love felines, so learning more about the Asian Wildcat would be nice.

Fantastic video as always. Will you be kind enough to share with me the reference to the theory that Caracal ears can be used to mimic insects to lure the birds?

You know, I kinda liked the minimalist feel of the end-drawing when it was halfway done (around 6:16). It was an interesting look at what your style would look like if it were more cartooned and less realistic.

Trust me Danielle, if you come close to one of these whilst caged (we trap them for relocation away from livestock) 'floppy' is the absolute last impression you will have.

@Crusader1815

Sounds like a description of most feral cats. Then you raise one from kittenhood and they are not so bad.

Clearly, the majority of the cats in the film were in some sort of captive arrangement and were being fed live birds (guineafowl) with their flight ability disabled (the uniform trimming of flight feathers is obvious). In some clips, the live birds were clearly being thrown directly at the cats for them to kill. I feel like this needs some sort of explanation. If these cats were filmed as part of a wild release program, there might be some argument for introducing live prey......but to me, this footage was gratuitous in showing five instances of deliberately disabled birds being fed to the captive cats.
