The caraval (also called a cara-serval) is the hybrid cross between a male caracal and a female serval.

They have a spotted pattern similar to the serval, but on a darker background.

[1][2][3][4] A servical[5] is the cross between a male serval and a female caracal.

[6][7][8] A litter of servicals occurred by accident when the two animals were kept in the same enclosure at Los Angeles Zoo.

Several serval - caracal offspring have been born in recent years through a breeding program in order to create F1 hybrids.
