Caracal - Caracal caracal The caracal (Caracal caracal, pronounced /ˈkærəkæl/) is a fiercely territorial medium-sized cat ranging over Western Asia, South Asia and Africa. The caracal is distributed over Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and India. Its chief habitat is dry steppes and semideserts, but it also inhabits woodlands, savannah, and scrub forest. They generally prefer open country, so long as there is sufficient cover, in the form of bushes and rocks, from which to ambush prey. The caracal is a slender, yet muscular, cat, with long legs and a short tail. Males typically weigh 13 to 18 kilograms (29 to 40 lb), while females weigh about 11 kilograms (24 lb). The caracal resembles a Eurasian Lynx, and for a long time it was considered a close relative of the lynxes. It has a tail nearly a third of its body length, and both sexes look the same. The caracal is 65 to 90 centimetres (26 to 35 in) in length, with a 30 centimetres (12 in) tail. Compared to lynxes, it has longer legs, shorter fur, and a slimmer appearance. ![]() Staffordshire Bull Terrier The Staffordshire Bull Terrier (informally: Staffie, Stafford, Staffy or Staff) is a medium-sized, short-coated, old-time breed of dog. It is an English dog, where it is the 5th most popular breed, and related to the bull terrier. Having descended from dog-fighting ancestors, it is muscular and courageous. It is the subject of breed specific legislation in some jurisdictions. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a medium-sized, stocky, and very muscular dog with strong athletic ability, with a similar appearance to the American Staffordshire terrier and American pit bull terriers sharing the same ancestor. They have a broad head (male considerably more than female), defined occipital muscles, a relatively short foreface, dark round eyes and a wide mouth with a clean scissor-like bite (the top incisors slightly overlap the bottom incisors). The ears are small. The cheek muscles are very pronounced. Their lips show no looseness. From above, the head loosely resembles a triangle. The head tapers down to a strong well-muscled neck and shoulders placed on squarely spaced forelimbs. They are tucked up in their loins and the last 1-2 ribs of their ribcage are usually visible. Their tail resembles an old fashioned pump handle. Their hind quarters are well-muscled and are what give the Stafford drive when baiting. They are coloured brindle, black, red, fawn, blue, white, or any blending of these colors with white. White with any other colour broken up over the body is known as pied. Liver-colored, black and tan dogs can occur but are rare. The coat is smooth and clings tightly to the body giving the dog a streamlined appearance.The dogs stand 36 to 42 cm (14 to 17 in) at the withers and weigh 14 to 18 kg (31 to 40 lb) for males; bitches are 11 to 15.4 kg (24 to 34 lb). ![]() ___________________________________________________________________

Okay now you're just shitting me, the SBT weighs 14-18 kg, the Caracal weighs 13-18kg, and also the SBT is a much better fighter and judging by the Caracals muscle mass compared with the Coyote, much stronger. |

Staffys generally speaking don't hesitate to attack, they are game bred. And clawing is helpful in a fight but it's unlikely to create a killing wound, it's far more likely that a bite would be the coup de grace, and whilst the caracal has an impressive set of teeth for a small felid, in terms of jaw power and damage dealing ability, the staffy has a clear advantage. |

The SBT is a dog.....so it can never be a better fighter, i mean come on have you seen dogs fight....durrrrr... Cats have more of there body weight made up of muscle, so if both are equal then its the cat thats packing more muscle. |

This cat appears significantly more gracile and as a result less durable, than the staffy as well as being less suitably equipped to deal with a similar sized (never mind larger, which the staffy is) carnivoran. In this matchup, the caracal is just going to be bulldozed and no amount of muscle mass is going to save it. It's greater capacity to fight from different angles is only going to delay its death. Dogs like this have killed people. |

Yes I have, and I can say that they are much better fighters than cats by my observations, they can't grapple as well a cats, but they use what they have well, If you honestly think the Cat is more muscular just because it's a cat then you need a reality check. Here's the humerus width study which shows the robusticity of a Coyotes limbs compared with a Caracals and a Eurasian Lynxes. Eurasian Lynx: 6.67% Caracal: 7.55% Coyote: 8.05% Need I say more? |

All your time on this forum has been pointless hasn't it? There are more to these fights than muscle mass. |

Honestly, the staff wins rather easily IMO. |

Do you think anyone not voting for the cat is a personal assault on your family? I'd favor a Caracal over a female SBT, or perhaps a smaller dog, but this dog is much to strong. |

A bit ironic that you ask for reasoning seeing as your reasoning only goes as far as "it's a cat" |

Well as formidable as this cat is, the staff is too much. Its more powerful, and has the ability to kill the cat much, much quicker then vice versa. |

So when SBT fight other dogs do they kill them very very quickly?? its easy to see dog fight videos over the net and one think that doesnt happen is a very very quick fight. If the SBT is of equal weight to the cat then how is it more powerful, where does this extra power come from? |
