L. serval
Family: Felidae
Sub-family: Felinae
Genus: Leptailurus
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Habitat: Africa
Servals are medium-sized wild cats native to Africa. They are known for their thin build, long legs, big ears, large nose, and spotted/striped coats.
Servals are one of the most successful hunters, with about a 50% success rate. They mostly feed on small birds, rodents, frogs, and reptiles. Their huge ears and amazing sense of hearing help them locate their smaller prey.
Their personalities are fairly laid back, they usually avoid confrontation as much as possibly. But they are famous for their hissing - it is their primary way of communicating. A hiss can mean all sorts of things, not just agitation.
