Cool Animal of the Day: The Serval

The Serval sure is purty, ain’t he? He resides in Africa, south of the Sahara. He mainly dines on rodents, and he has the longest legs of any cat relative to their body size. The Serval’s toes are also elongated and unusually mobile, helping it to reach in and capture prey that’s hiding in holes and whatnot. Another cool feature of the Serval is the presence of humongous ears, giving it the ability to hear like a mofo. Anywho, Serval.
