Servals and ocelots are related, but they are distinct species with different behaviors, and genetic lineages, and live on different continents: servals are found in Africa, while ocelots are native to Minecraft, and the Americas.

World Serval Day: 18th March World Serval Day is celebrated annually on March 18th to raise awareness and protect the spectacular serval cat, which is indigenous to Africa

A little late - #WorldServalDay was yesterday - but please do read!

Of particular concern is the breeding of Servals, exotic felids native to Africa, with domestic cats to produce a ‘Savannah cat’ ...

Resharing for #WorldServalDay

March 18th is World Serval Day! Servals (Leptailurus serval) weigh up to ~40 lbs and are found in much of Africa. They are characterized by their long legs and large ears which help them to be effective hunters. Learn more about this species below!
