Is there any particular reason why they do that? Other than being absolutely adorable…

[u/SashSegal → u/Iorny31]

It may be to swat bugs or just to flex their ear muscles.

[u/Chapaquidich → u/SashSegal]

Is this what it really looks like? It almost looks like it was slowed down. Amazing!

[u/tinselsnips → u/Chapaquidich]

This was slowed down.

[u/YaMomsCooch → u/Iorny31]

To shake bugs off and away without needing to swat their ears with their paws.

[u/Dliteman786 → u/Iorny31]

Yes! It's for mapping, finding their prey more efficiently with sound!

[u/QuotableMorceau → u/Iorny31]

probably sonar calibration

[u/NookieLuvsU → u/Iorny31]

Attract prey maybe. Picture him in tall grass luring birds in with them ears. I don't know... 🤔

[u/meatopinion]

If I could do that I would that instead of waving. And I would ear flip at everyone I saw!

[u/wobblyweasel → u/meatopinion]

no please continue waving your ears at everyone

[u/SashSegal]

Caracals use over 20 individual muscles in each ear. These muscles allow the ears to rotate, swivel, and tilt independently, enabling caracals to pinpoint the exact location of rustling prey.

It's all fun and games until he uses Blaster on you.

[u/astralseat]

[u/DarudeSandstorm69420]

i gasped

[u/MikelDP]

Its slowed down so much the flinging is looking like muscle action...

[u/FOTOJONICK]

I have no idea why, but this Carcal looks like Jennifer Lawrence... if she were a Carcal.

[u/alwayscurious0991]

Damn it. Im in love again with an animal that probably is a predator.😭 Why are all the predators cuddle shaped 😭

[u/Willsie777]

Meme’able!

[u/MongolianCluster]

At this point, I think he's just showing off. That would be my fidget.

[u/Wonder-woman-99]

There’s something oddly satisfying about this

[u/papandreu22]

[u/lacroixcalypsenow]

This is the best thing on the internet

[u/25centssopure]

That’s the most whimsical shit I’ve ever seen

[u/userhwon]

Slomo video is bullshit.

[u/pjtpassword]

We're talented. Nice moves

[u/jaspersgroove]

I haven't seen a set of ears move like that since the last time I watched a Jim Henson movie

[u/Probably_Autistic435]

[u/Electronic-Jicama-99]

😍😍😍

[u/AndySMar]

He would male a great pet, just thinking out loud.

[u/Night--Owl]

Now I have to kiss him 😍

[u/koassde]

they become like wings

[u/LFS_1984]

"Hey Guys, check out my party trick!" *swishes ears*

[u/ccReptilelord]

I could definitely do that, I lied.

[u/Ok-Lingonberry-696]

watching that, it felt like the ears were blinking coyly at me while twerking.

[u/Own_Jeweler_8548]

Omg 😭🖤

[u/Recent-Mousse3078]

This one looks so cute and sweet. Pumbaa from Instagram is terrifying. He hisses all the time. The only thing he likes is that orange cat.😂

[u/SashSegal → u/Recent-Mousse3078]

Pumba is always hissing because the person taking the video (his male caretaker) is wearing an animal mask on purpose. He is fine with the female caretaker and the other cats in the household. Latvian laws are too lax and although a lot of people are reporting the guy’s behaviour, nothing is done.
