The young resemble the adults.
The skull of the Caracal has a short face, with a high forehead, and thence backwards curves gradually downwards
to the occiput. Interorbital space wide. Nasals broad, depressed medianly, forming a rather deep groove. Processes
of premaxillas extend upwards between nasals and maxillas and leave but a small space between their ends and those
of the frontals. The fronto-nasal articulation is on a line vertically with that of the processes of the maxillas. The
brain-case is swollen and oblong in shape. Orbits incomplete. Upper canines rather stout, but not long. A low
postoccipital crest is visible in most specimens.
