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 is a description of 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 psyche, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any feline relative to its form sizing .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes build highly overlapping dwelling ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and differentiate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( specially vlei rats ), small-time chicks, frogs, bugs, and reptiles. The serval expends its sense of hearing to locate the target; to kill small 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 a bite on the neck or the president. Mating takes home at different times of the year in different parts of their range, but normally once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational reporting period two to three months, a litter of one to four is abide. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens embark hunting on their own at six months. The juveniles leave their father at 12 months .

The serval prefers areas with plow such as reeds and tall grasses and proximity to ocean figures, 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 National resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least regard.
