I still have a lot of unprocessed photographs from last month’s trip\u00a0to South Africa. I captured\u00a0this image of a Caracal during my visit to the Cheetah Rehabilitation facility in the northeastern part of the country. I wrote about this center when I posted a photograph of a Cheetah<\/a> that I captured during my visit to the facility. Seconds after I captured this image the cat took off after a small child that was running back to her parents. A big no-no when wildlife is around! She learned her lesson.<\/p>\n

The Caracal<\/a>\u00a0has a historic\u00a0past.\u00a0They were religiously significant to the ancient Egyptians. Their likeness occur throughout Egypt in paintings and bronze figures and their sculptures guarded the tombs of pharaohs. During the 13th and 14th centuries\u00a0Chinese emperors used Caracals and Cheetahs as gifts.\u00a0In the present day, caracals are\u00a0kept as pets. They can adapt well to domestic surroundings and are not generally aggressive toward domestic cats and dogs.<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5DS<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 70-200 f\/2.8 Lens<\/a>\u00a0set on 175\u00a0mm. The camera was set on Manual mode with the aperture set at f\/2.8, shutter speed at 1\/200th of a second and the ISO set at 640. This is a single image processed in Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
