Serval Cat Facts and Photos-Images 2012

Serval Cat 2012Servals are long-legged cats, widely spread in Sub Saharan Africa, with the outstanding functionality of jumping three metres in the air to catch birds and insect damage in flight. Servals are meat-eating and their diet comprises mostly of hares and mole rats, which they catch by pouncing and getting on their sufferers with both front paws. This is in fact a very powerful way of searching and almost half of these huge leaps are prosperous.

The spotted coat of the serval is sometimes marketed as “young leopard” or cheetah, and for that reason attracts a good amount of price on the black market. This, as well as the serval’s proclivity for bulgaria raids, makes it a targeted for predators. Subsequently, servals are no more time found in greatly booming locations.

The lion is a magnificent animal that appears as a symbol of power, courage and nobility on family crests, coats of arms and national flags in many civilizations. Lions at one time were found from Greece through the Middle East to northern India, but today only a very small population remains in India. In the past lions lived in most parts of Africa, but are now confined to the sub-Saharan region.

Most cat species live a fundamentally solitary existence, but the lion is an exception. It has developed a social system based on teamwork and a division of labor within the pride, and an extended but closed family unit centered around a group of related females. The average pride consists of about 15 individuals, including five to 10 females with their young and two or three territorial males that are usually brothers or pride mates.
