New big cats in Al Ain

Two caracals join the family at AWPR…

It’s turning into a busy summer at Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort’s. First, the park welcomed a new baby giraffe and now, two new caracal cats.

The pair of medium cats are a special conservation concern of AWPR’s arid land carnivore conservation program. They were donated to the park by a family living in Yemen who was unable to provide proper care for the animals.

“These are feisty cats. The family wanted to ensure the animals were provided with the best possible shelter and care,” said Farshid Merhdadfar, AWPR’s animal collection manager.
