serval

I seen a 'serval' only once near Satara on the main road to Orpen, on a night drive.

They were quickly followed by three Asian species (bay cat, marbled cat, and Asian golden cat) and three African species (caracal, 'serval' , and African golden cat).

A large spotted cat, possibly a 'serval' , was seen close to railway lines at Ladycross near Brockenhurst.

For those who have never seen a 'serval' , you can describe it as looking like a small cheetah.

In East Africa small cats include wild cats, sand and 'serval cats' .

Over the years, we had filmed cheetahs, lions, leopards, African wildcats and 'servals' (for the first ever film of them) but never caracals.

There are three types of African Sachal, spotted hyena and a myriad of small predators such as the aard-wolf and the beautiful 'serval cat' .

On a night drive near Mwambashi Camp, in the Lower Zambesi National Park, on our final evening we also spotlight a leopard, several smaller cats ( 'servals' and civets), zebra and a white-tailed mongoose.

Among prey of 'servals' studied in South Africa's Kamberg Nature Reserve, 80 percent was made up of rodents weighing little more than one ounce.
