The serval is a cheetah in miniature. But unlike with the wild cheetah, the serval can be kept at home, the only thing is that it requires proper living conditions.

The serval is a tropical blooded African cat, every move of which is full of dignity, elegance, and gracefulness.

The serval can boast of its special elegance. Servals have medium size in comparison with the other African Felidae species, and they certainly take the lead in size among domestic cat species. The animal is about 19 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder, tail is 11 to 15 inches long. The serval weighs 22 to 40 lb, however larger specimens have been found. Servals’ head is quite small (relatively to the neck length and overall body size) and adorned with wide and long ears with pattern that resembles a butterfly.
