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 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 manager, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff hair spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any feline relative to its figure size .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes demonstrate highly overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and celebrate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small-minded birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval expends its sense of hearing to locate the target; to kill small prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the field to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the cervix or the manager. Mating takes neighbourhood at different times of its first year in different parts of their range, but commonly once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a litter of one to four is bear. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The youths leave their father at 12 months .

The serval favors areas with spread such as reeds and towering grasses and proximity to water forms, such as wetlands and savannah. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but pervasive in southern Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least relate. It occurs in protection areas across its range, and hunting of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
