Serval Cat

The elusive Serval Cat!

These wonderful small cats are often found out in the open grasslands.

They are very successful hunters and mostly eat rodents, birds, reptiles, frogs and insects. They very rarely will scavenge for their food.. due to their efficient hunting.

It often makes my day when we come across a Serval, we mostly find them when they are hunting which is a wonderful behavior to observe.

They will locate their prey, ready themselves, then with a sudden jump/pounce they fly through the air and land on the unsuspecting prey!
