The Serval Cat also known as the tierboskat, is a wild feline may be 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 slender, 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 head, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat 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 size .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes demonstrate highly overlapping dwelling ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and distinguish them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( specially vlei rats ), small-time fowls, frogs, insects, and reptiles. The serval employs its sense of hearing to pinpoint the target; to kill small-time prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the floor to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the cervix or the brain. Mating takes residence at different times of its first year in different parts of their range, but normally once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational reporting period two to three months, a litter of one to four is birth. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The teenagers leave their father at 12 months .

The serval opts areas with embrace such as reeds and towering grasses and close proximity to liquid figures, such as wetlands and savannah. It is rare in northern Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in south Africa. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and National resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least concern. It occurs in protected areas across its assortment, and hunting of servals is either proscribed or regulated in several countries .
