      Audio Network is a website for music for TV, Ads, etc. I think many NatGeo shows uses track from there, for example. In the description, the "Glitz" one is indeed the intro music, and from searching (my prior comment here is deleted because of the link maybe), the composer is Ray Davies.

    I'm familiar with Caracals, but it was cool to see a video on them. They need more attention, for sure. As for the next cat for small cats unknown, how about covering the Asian Wildcat? One of the two cats that are thought to have inspired the Star Fox character Miyu. Some say she's a Lynx, but I've seen compelling evidence for her being an Asian Wildcat, plus the longer tail in official art suggests this one. I simply love felines, so learning more about the Asian Wildcat would be nice.

    Trust me Danielle, if you come close to one of these whilst caged (we trap them for relocation away from livestock) 'floppy' is the absolute last impression you will have. More like a vicious, spitting agent if evil! That said a young Caracal once rubbed up against my leg when we encountered each other - very rare!

      Sounds like a description of most feral cats. Then you raise one from kittenhood and they are not so bad.

    Fun fact: When they hiss it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are angry, that is how they communicate

      if they hiss with their ears up, then theyre being friendly
      if they hiss with their ears down, youre annoying the caracal
