were are they from

Africa

Native to many parts of Africa, serval cats roam savannahs and wetlands hunting for prey

diet

rodents

Servals mostly hunt rodents—on average, one serval eats 4,000 a year—but they're not picky eaters like some other wild cats. They'll eat anything small enough for them to catch, including grasshoppers, snakes, and even birds as large as storks and guinea fowls

The classification system for hurricanes is called The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, and it's a 1 to 5 categorization of the hurricane's intensity at the indicated time.

Each category expresses the intensity in miles per hour. Example: category 1 (74-95 mph).

Type in the other 4 categories.

what is a white serval

only 2 are alive

To our knowledge, only two white servals exist in the world: Tonga and his brother Pharaoh. The white coat is just the outward indication of the deleterious effects of inbreeding. ... (In the wild and in most other places Servals only live to be 10 or 12, but at Big Cat Rescue they have an average lifespan of 17)

do they have good eyesight

They have large ears that work like antennae to pick up the rustle of prey. Both spots and stripes provide camouflage in the dappled shade of long grasses. Nocturnal hunters, servals have excellent eyesight. In poor light, they can see six times better than you can

are they fast

Thanks to very long legs the serval can develop the speed up to 80 km/h (50 mph)

are they considered big cats

no
