Caracal Kittens at the Nashville Zoo

Caracal Kittens at the Nashville Zoo

Earlier this year, six caracal kittens were born at the Nashville Zoo within a seven-day span. And because the internet demands cat content, the zoo wisely put them on a live camera feed at the veterinary clinic. The kittens were ridiculously cute, cuddling, play-fighting and meowing like normal house cats, albeit with very pointy ears. They were perfect fodder for a daytime break in yet another year that saw us stuck inside more than we wanted to be. The caracals grew quickly (eventually they’ll weigh 40 pounds and be able to jump 10 feet high), and the feed is now offline after four of them left the zoo for San Diego as part of a Species Survival Plan. Thanks for the memories, little guys.
