Lifespan: 10-12 years in the wild, up to 20 years in captivity
The serval's long legs and large ears give it a significant advantage in hunting, allowing it to leap up to 10 feet in the air to catch birds and detect the slightest sounds of its prey. Its diet mainly consists of rodents, birds, insects, and small mammals. While solitary and primarily nocturnal, servals may also be active during the day, depending on the availability of food.
