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 honcho, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coating spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its body sizing .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes install highly overlapping dwelling ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and commemorate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( particularly vlei rats ), tiny birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval expends its sense of hearing to situate the target; to kill small-time 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 a bite on the cervix or the manager. Mating takes home at different times of the year in different parts of their assortment, but normally once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational reporting period two to 3 month, a offspring of one to four is born. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The youths leave their father at 12 months .

The serval prefers areas with plow such as reeds and towering grasses and proximity to sea bodies, such as wetlands and savannah. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in southern Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least anxiety. It occurs in protected areas across its range, and chase of servals is either proscribed or regulated in several countries .
