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 first described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. The serval is a slender, 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 head, large ears, a golden-yellow to buff coating spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped posterior. The serval has the longest legs of any cat relative to its organization size .

Active in the 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 commemorate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), tiny fowls, frogs, bugs, and reptiles. The serval employs its sense of hearing to situate the target; to kill small-time prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the soil to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the head. Mating takes home at different times of its first year in different parts of their scope, but often 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 father at 12 months .

The serval favors areas with handle such as reeds and tall grasses and proximity to ocean torsoes, 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 Natural Resources( IUCN) categorizes the serval as least regard. It occurs in protection areas across its range, and hunting of servals is either proscribed or regulated in several countries .
