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 first described by 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 thought, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff hair spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any "cat-o-nine-tail" relative to its organization sizing .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes launch highly overlapping dwelling ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and label them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small-scale birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval use its sense of hearing to locate the target; to kill small-minded 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 neck or the manager. Mating takes residence at different times of its first 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 carry. 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 wishes areas with plow such as reeds and tall grass and close proximity to water mass, 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 National resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least anxiety. It occurs in protection areas across its scope, and chase of servals is either prohibited or regulated in several countries .
