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 firstly described by German naturalist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1776. Eighteen subspecies are recognised. 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 psyche, big ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped tail. The serval has the longest legs of any "cat-o-nine-tail" relative to its mas sizing .

Active in the working day as well as at night, servals tend to be solitary with minimal social interaction. Both sexes demonstrate highly overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km2( 4-12 sq mi ), and celebrate them with feces and saliva. Servals are carnivores- they prey on rodents( especially vlei rats ), small-time birds, frogs, bugs, and reptiles. The serval applies its sense of hearing to situate the target; to kill small-time target, 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 premier. Mating takes residence at different times of its first year in different parts of their range, but generally once or twice a year in a region. After a gestational reporting period two to three months, a offspring of one to four is born. Weaning occurs at one month, and kittens begin hunting on their own at six months. The minors leave their mom at 12 months .

The serval prefers areas with cover such as reeds and towering grass and close proximity to ocean torsoes, 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 National resources( IUCN) classifies the serval as least refer. It occurs in protection areas across its scope, and hunting of servals is either vetoed or regulated in several countries .
