Serval

The serval is a wild cat native to Africa. It is rare in North Africa and the Sahel, but widespread in sub-Saharan countries, except rainforest regions. Across its range, it occurs in protected areas, and hunting it is either prohibited or regulated in range countries. It is the sole member of the genus Leptailurus. The serval (Leptailurus serval) is one of the fastest wild cats out in the wild. These nimble creatures weigh between 10 and 40 pounds, but can sustain speeds of 40mph and even push the limit up to 50mph for short bursts. Super sleek: African servals are small, slender cats with long legs, a lean body, a short tail, and a small head. Their extra-long neck and legs give them the nickname "giraffe cat." Servals have a coat that is tawny with both black lines and spots, while their belly is a soft white. African servals are crepuscular, hunting several times a night and early morning. · To begin hunting, African servals first scan the surrounding area. You're welcome :)
