The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild "cat-o-nine-tail" may be in Africa. It is the sole is part 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-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 chief, large-scale ears, a golden-yellow to buff hair spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its torso size .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes install highly overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and tag them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small chicks, frogs, bugs, and reptiles. The serval employs its sense of hearing to pinpoint the target; to kill small-time 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 brain. Mating takes home at different times of the year in different parts of their range, but typically once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is birth. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The adolescents leave their mother at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with cover such as reeds and tall grass and close proximity to water torsoes, such as wetlands and savannahs. 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) classifies 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 .
