Lifespan/Longevity
Reliable longevity data for wild Caracal caracal individuals has not been reported. As in other felids, captive individuals can live significantly longer than wild relatives if well cared for. Captive C. caracal can live to be around 20 years old. The maximum captive longevity reported was 20.3 years for a wild-born female raised in captivity.
Range lifespan
Status: captivity: 20.3 (high) years.
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 12.0 years.
