Cheetah, caracal and falcons - almost certainly Western India. My guess is early 1900s. Photo is from a book by a British military officer written in 1920s.

Found the link - https://round.glass/sustain/species/caracal/

Never knew we had them there also! I know there are several species of wild cats.

Both Cheetah and Caracal used to be found as far down south as around 200 km from the cape.

My dad saw a caracal shot by local hunters in Ramnad district in around 1958. He was sure of it as it was more than double the size of a wild cat and also it had the long tufts of hair on the ear tips.

Most people would not believe this.
