Caracals are at home in a number of habitats. They are found in woodlands, savannahs, and in scrub forests, but avoid sandy deserts. In Southern Africa, this specie is more commonly found in upland areas. Caracals typically use abandoned porcupine burrows and rock crevices for maternal dens but can be found with their young in dense vegetation. From head to tail, the caracal measures 830-1225mm, with the tail accounting for 230-310 mm of this length. Their mass reches 13 to 19 kg's. Most notably, the caracal's ears, which are long and slender, are topped by long tufts of black fur. Although mainly terrestrial, they are excellent jumpers and climbers.

The Gemsbok has dramatic facial masks with halter-like facial markings paired with white patches. Black striping also extends along the sides near the underbelly. A short mane runs from the head to the shoulders. Ears are large and broad. The remainder of the body ranges from a buffy tan color to brown. Males have a tuft of black hairs on the throat. Horns are long and extend straight back from the head and can reach a length of 150cm. The female horns tend to be slender and longer than the males.They commonly found in arid areas, including dry steppe, brush and tree savannahs in the flat and hilly areas as well as semi-desert and desert.

The Lechwe is found in the southern savanna of Africa more commonly in Zambia and some along the rivers of Angola and Botswana. They reach a mass of 60 to 128kg and a height of ranging from 90 to 112 cm. They are a chestnut like colour with white underparts and with age the males darken in colour. The male and female lechwe are actually seperate from each other for most of the year with the female herds often changing.
