Notes:   The caracal had just been hit by a car. It was stunned and did not move, it did not seem to be really aware of what was happening around. It was gently collected and sent to the closet vet. It was euthanised because of a broken leg. The truck that hit it stopped and was not happy with what just happened. Unfortunately, these things happen too often!
