The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild feline may be in Africa. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus and was firstly described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, medium-sized feline 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 psyche, large-scale ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat 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 size .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes launch highly overlapping residence ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and mark them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( specially vlei rats ), small-minded fowls, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval use its sense of hearing to pinpoint the target; to kill small-scale prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the dirt to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the chief. Mating takes place at different times of its first year in different parts of their scope, but typically once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational reporting period two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is endure. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The minors leave their mom at 12 months .

The serval prefers areas with consider such as reeds and tall grasses and proximity to sea figures, such as wetlands and savannahs. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in south Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least regard. It occurs in protected areas across its scope, and chase of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
