Serval is closely related to the African Golden Cat and the Caracal
There are no true stats to this question because in the U.S it's illegal to own these cats and they can be considered dangerous. Serval cats can be 40 lbs., or more. While they are loving pets to their owners, they are dangerous to children (even if they don't mean too because they are so large and powerful) and do not like domesticated cats. When one leaves their home they must put the cat in a large cage and not leave the cat loose in their home. These cats need meat to eat, and many untrained owners that just like the thought of owning an African Serval Cat find they are troublesome to look after and expensive to feed. There is a problem with Serval Cats roaming free and some owners simply feel if they can't support the habit of feeding their Serval Cat they can simply give it to a zoo. Zoos do not want anymore large cats! The ASPCA (U.S.) or SPCA (in Canada) are tired of seeing African Serval Cats dropped on their doorstep. Owning an African Serval Cat is a big responsibility and one should study the history of these cats before deciding to own one.

The Savannah cat is a breed of cat created from mixing a serval and a common housecat. It is not the type of pet cat that can be adopted from your local animal shelter; someone wanting to buy a Savannah will usually have to contact a breeder.
Serval. Biological name: Felis Serval
A Barbary Serval is a domestic cat's size but its fur pelt (which resembles a snow leopards) makes it look larger then it really is.
No, a Savannah is a mix of a serval and a domestic cat.
It would depend on the local bylaws in Pennsylvania for it to be legal to own a Serval (cat). You would certainly need a dangerous animal licence !
