The serval cat is perhaps best known as the wild cat used to create the Savannah cat breed.
Serval cats are bred to domestic housecats to produce Savannah cats
The serval eats rodents and small birds whole
Serval cats have the biggest ears of any cat species
The servals tail is about half the length of a domestic cats tail
Servals are the most efficient hunters of all cat species
These cats listen for the movement of animals in the grass before they pounce. It is believed that they use their ears as much as their eyes. Servals, unlike other small cats, are much more diurnal, or crepuscular, meaning they are active in early mornings and late evenings. Servals, like most cats, live a solitary existence.
Servals are successful in 50 percent of their hunts
Lions are only successful about 30 percent of the time
Servals normally live in the Central and South Africa. It prefers wetlands and grasslands, but since it is highly adaptable, it can be found in other types of ecosystems.
The perfect gift for animal lovers, why not adopt Urus
Animal adoption is a great way to support Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary, lasts all year and makes for a lovely treat or gift. Treat yourself or buy as a gift for the animal lover in your life.
Meet Urus
The sanctuary rescues and provides a home for many types of unwanted animals, especially primates, such as chimpanzees, gibbons, baboons, spider monkeys, vervets, capuchins, tamarins, macaques and marmosets.
Although we specialise in the care and protection of primates we cannot stand by and see other animals in need of help. You will therefore find meerkats, wolf dogs, horses, donkeys, pigs and others at our sanctuary. All are equally important members of our extended family.
