Caracal at the zoo

This Sunday morning, Geoff had to work. It was kind of cool and foggy but Katie and I decided to go to the zoo anyway to walk around for a bit. We were pretty early and a lot of the animals were not out yet. We walked down to the new African savannah area. We were the only people there. The lions were out and Katie stood face-to-face with one, luckily separated by a thick glass wall ;). It was kind of cool to see. Across from the lions is a new exhibit with the caracal. The caracal is a big cat with pointy ears. So far we hadn't seen it yet so we were wondering if it was really there. The exhibit has a lot of tall grass and there is a ledge high up where she could be hiding. So we were super excited when we spotted it! And not only did we spot it, we saw her walking back and forth and even look directly at us through the window.
