Serval

Africa · small wild cats · amazing hunters

African grassland expert. Servals live across sub-Saharan Africa in grasslands, wetlands, moorlands, and bamboo thickets where they've become perfectly adapted to hunting small prey.

Super hearing superpowers. Those huge, upright ears aren't just for show, they let the serval hear tiny mice and other hidden animals moving underground or in dense vegetation.

Legs for days. Servals have remarkably long legs compared to their body size, which helps them leap high through tall grass and pounce on prey with incredible accuracy.

Protected by law. Many African countries protect servals by either prohibiting hunting or carefully regulating it, so these beautiful cats can keep thriving in the wild.
