The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild feline may be in Africa. It is the sole is part of the genus Leptailurus and was first 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-o-nine-tail" 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 heading, huge ears, a golden-yellow to buff coating spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any "cat-o-nine-tail" relative to its body sizing .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes build highly overlapping home 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 ), tiny birds, frogs, bugs, and reptiles. The serval applies its sense of hearing to pinpoint the target; to kill small-scale target, 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 a bite on the cervix or the manager. Mating takes place at different times of the year in different parts of their scope, but commonly once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a litter of one to four is digest. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The youths leave their father at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with plow such as reeds and tall grasses and close proximity to water bodies, such as wetlands and savannahs. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but pervasive in south Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least concern. It occurs in protection areas across its range, and chase of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
