The real science

The creature is invented. These parts are real.

Caracal
A caracal can leap about 3 meters, roughly 10 feet, straight up from a standstill to knock a bird out of the air. San Diego Zoo
Ear tufts
Nobody knows for sure what caracal ear tufts are for. The leading theory is that caracals twitch them to signal to each other. San Diego Zoo

Print notes

Slow down for the ear tufts. They’re thin.

Field notes

A real caracal whose photos became the internet’s picture of a big, patient, slightly judgmental cat. Wild caracals can leap about three meters to catch birds in flight. Floppa would rather not.
