chainlink fence should work but i don't know if the fox can climb out. then some rocks, logs and bushes in the exhibit should work.

is anyone else having problem with CRG's guoias ? they keep flashing yellow when placed ingame.

Well i hate exhibits that are not open xD Meaning i don't like when cats are kept i cages or aviaries.

For a lynx i would try an exhibit with different ground levels, rocks and trees and fallen tress and branches. Maybe an small waterfall and river. The viewing area could be from an elevated viewing point, or separated from the exhibit by a moat or even windowed exhibit. The biome i would try to recreat is either boreal or temperate depending on the lynx species. Finally i think a considerable amount of foliage will be the best for a lynx enclosure. It could also be a rocky type of enclosure (using collar mods hack for example)

For a caracal, i would make a more bare exhibit (but not completly, just enough to give a dry feeling like a savanah or a scrubland biome kind of thing). Fallen trees and branches for them to climb are a must. The foliage consisting mostly on a couple of scrub or savanah trees and ground foliage (i would use mostly Chalico's grass, fynbos pack's plants and some of the AD plants from bio flora). A lot of rocks for them to climb will be nice too, and maybe building some kind of rock structure that could serve like a hiding place

Caracal Exhibit:

Caracal are usually kept in aviaries style, but can also be kept in open enclosures but with a little high fence. First, aviary style.

Like leopards, they're fast and climb very well in trees, so this is a quite good style for forest zoos... Any aviary kind and in middle you could put trees, logs, rocks and good climbing structures for do exercise :) Foliage is not too needed ;)

In open enclosures, you can use some chainlink or mesh fence, like the one made by Rocky in height 3-4, inside, you don't need to put foliage a lot, but climbing structures in center as they can climb and escape. Viewing areas with glass are great option.
