The
African Serval is a medium sized exotic wild cat. It is not a
domestic cat.
The African Serval's length is around 24 to 43 inches and that
does not include the its tail which is a short thick ringed tail
of around 12 to 18 inches long.
The Serval has an approximate shoulder height ranging from 21 to
24 inches. Their weight can range from approximately 20-44 lbs
with a life expectancy of approximately 12-20 years.
The African Serval Cat is slender in built, with unusually long
legs and a short thick tail.
The Serval have bold black spots on yellowish brown/golden background.
The African Serval has large ears that sits close together on
top of their heads.
Each
ear has a white spot on it that is amazingly attractive to the
human eye as can be seen from the very first serval picture
above.
Servals blossom on fresh meat based diets such as rodents,
lizards, frogs, crabs, birds and insects. They will not thrive
on a vegetarian diet.
Savannah
Cats are domesticated hybrids off-springs from the African
Servals. In November 2008, I went off to A1 Savannahs in
the US to see and it was a delightful
experience to hold, cuddle and kiss these beautiful creatures.
When I returned to A1 Savannahs the second day, these Serval
babies recognised me and run to greet me!
It was a
magnificent feeling that I constantly recall to mind.
Along with unbeatable hospitality provided by Martin & Kathrin
Stucki, their Staff and Children, I found meeting and handling
hand reared baby Servals a lifetime experience. They even
sat and read magazines with me!

I watched Martin and Kathrin handled and played with both baby
and adult Servals and it was awesome!
On examining
every stage of the Savannah Cat development from
Servals and F1 Savannah cats right through to the SBT cats, it
soon became apparent that even I as an eagerly discerning
Savannah Cat
Breeder still had a great deal to learn. It
was a pleasure to actually see and respect the work that has
already been done by All Savannah
Breeders who have worked real hard to develop the breed to its
current stage.
New update on Strawbell Pedigree Cats very own Serval coming
