It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus and was first described by 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 thought, large 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 body sizing .

The adolescents leave their father at 12 months .
