Caracal is a genus of the subfamily Felinae, of the family Felidae. Previously it was considered to be a monotypic genus, consisting of only the type species: Caracal caracal, commonly called caracals. However, genetic analysis in 2006 has shown that caracals, African golden cats, and servals are genetically closely related, which places them in the same genus.[1] The IUCN currently uses this classification for the African golden cat, although it's still being "under review" for the serval.[2][3]
