A caracal or wild cat in rehabilitation left its carers stunned when it jumped 9.8 feet high in order to grab a bite.<br /><br />The footage, captured on April 12, shows one of the carers teasing the big cat by holding a stick with a prey tied to it.<br /><br />After a few attempts, the animal manages to leap and catch the prey.<br /><br />The filmer writes: ''An experiment was conducted to see how high a caracal can actually jump.<br /><br />''The reason for this controlled experiment was to determine their capabilities in the wild when fending for themselves.''<br /><br />Caracals live in the drier savannah and woodland regions of sub-Saharan Africa and prey upon small mammals, birds and rodents.
