The Cape Peninsula, home to the city of Cape Town in South Africa is a global biodiversity hotspot. Prior to European settlement, this area was home to almost every large African animal – elephants, rhinos, hippos, red hartebeest – even the now-extinct Cape Lion  – that was one and a half times larger than an African lion.
Today, Cape Town is a bustling, modern city and whilst it has lost most of its historic megafauna, it is still rich in a variety of plant and animal species. One of those species is the caracal, a mid-sized cat that lives in the urban edge of the city bounds.
This episode features Gabi Leighton from the Urban Caracal Project.
