serval

African wild cat Felis serval. It is a slender, long-limbed cat, about 1 m/3 ft long, with a yellowish-brown, black-spotted coat. It has large, sensitive ears, with which it locates its prey, mainly birds and rodents.

Servals weigh about 11-13 kg/24-28 lb. They are solitary animals, except for females with young. The young are born (after a gestation of 65-75 days) in litters of four to six and are independent after a year. Sexual maturity is reached at the age of about 2 years, and lifespan is 13-20 years.
