The serval is the exotic ancestor of the Savannah, which is still a young and rare breed of cat.
Although the serval looks almost like a big cat due to its size, the distinguished appearance and its resemblance to a cheetah, this wild cat belongs to the group of small cats. The extreme long legs, a small head with large ears and the short tail are striking. The fur is yellowish to orange with black spots and some bars.
Servals are living in Africa, the natural habitat covers mainly tall grass regions like savannahs. The prey of the serval consists of rodents, birds, lizards and frogs, sometimes small antelopes and fishes are also caught.
