@backgroundISneeded Fun fact Al Saghani mentioned the Barbar (Somali were sometimes referred to as Barbar) word for Caracal was Kaduud all the way back in the 1200s. Taj al-ʿArus Min Jawahir al-Qamus by Al Zabidi in the 1700s also mentions the Barbar word for Caracal was Kaduud.

Caracals are very unique and fascinating creatures I remember watching a episode on wild kratts about it as a kid.

Yes, this is correct. This animal is called guduudane.

note:
I'm not reer miyi. I didn't grow up seeing often xayawaanka duurjoogta. My father confirmed this image and the name. He said this animal has different colors: there are dark guduudane and white guduudane. I think they probably have albino like jaguars and black panthers. However, mostly they are reddish in color. He said when he was a kid, waxaraha ayuu ka cuni jiray. There are a lot of guduudane in Geyiga Soomaalida, especially in southern Somalia.
