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 premier, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped tail.

After a gestational reporting period two to 3 month, a litter of one to four is endure. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The minors leave their father at 12 months .
