TLF: "The Caracal stems from scetches I made of a captive in the now not longer existing Benson Animal Farm of Nashua, N.H. This animal is a live portrait." [104, Schäfer/Witteveen, October 24, 2007]
TLF: "When I first turned towards “nature” ... I chose the most ferocious-looking creatures; satanically sneering Caracal Lynx, the onrush of the nightmarish wart hog, then the threatening crouch for the spring of the desperate baboon. ... [And] the ornamental and deadly coil of the ever-ready viper." [105]
