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 firstly described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, medium-sized feline 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 brain, large-scale ears, a golden-yellow to buff hair spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its torso sizing .

Active in the day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes build highly overlapping residence ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and tag them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( specially vlei rats ), tiny birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval uses its sense of hearing to situate the target; to kill small-time prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the sand to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the head. Mating takes residence at different times of its first year in different parts of their scope, but typically once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational period of two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is suffer. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The teenagers leave their mom at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with spread such as reeds and tall grasses and proximity to ocean organizations, 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 fear. It occurs in protected areas across its range, and hunting of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
