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 leader, huge ears, a golden-yellow to buff coat spotted and striped with pitch-black, and a short, black-tipped posterior.

The serval use its sense of hearing to locate the prey; to kill small prey, it leaps over 2 m( 6 ft 7 in) above the sand to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with little bit on the neck or the manager. Mating takes place at different times of its first year in different parts of their scope, but often once or twice a year in an area. After a gestational reporting period 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 adolescents leave their father at 12 months .

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 fear.
