The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild "cat-o-nine-tail" 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 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 manager, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any feline relative to its body size .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes establish highly overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and differentiate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( particularly vlei rats ), small-minded fowls, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval uses its sense of hearing to situate the target; to kill small-minded target, 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 cervix or the leader. Mating takes residence at different times of its first year in different parts of their assortment, but commonly once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is carry. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The youths 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 south Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least anxiety. It occurs in protected areas across its range, and hunting of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
