The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild cat found in Africa. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus and was firstly is a description of German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slim, medium-sized cat that stands 54-62 cm( 21-24 in) at the shoulder and weighs 9-18 kg( 20-40 lb ). It is characterised by a small foreman, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff coating spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any feline relative to its form size .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes establish highly overlapping residence ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and recognize them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval use its sense of hearing to locate the target; to kill tiny prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the soil to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the thought. Mating takes neighbourhood at different times of the year in different parts of their scope, but often once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a litter of one to four is born. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The juveniles leave their father at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with consider such as reeds and towering grass and proximity to ocean forms, such as wetlands and savannahs. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in southern Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least concern. It occurs in protection areas across its scope, and chase of servals is either proscribed or regulated in several countries .
