The Desert Lynx, also known as the Caracal, is quite the magnificent cat breed to come across. As a cross between a number of other breeds, including the American Lynx, the Pixie Bob, Maine Coon and even the wild cat breeds of the bobcat in some cases – they have quite the lineage.
As felines, they’re known for being an outgoing breed that enjoys the social aspects of living in an active household. Playful and loving, many consider this breed to be almost like a domestic dog than a cat.
They make for great family pets, so if you’re looking at purchasing or adopting a Desert Lynx, then this breed is one worth considering for your household, perhaps.
