People may kill servals for various reasons, including hunting for sport, fear of livestock predation, and illegal wildlife trade. In some regions, they are viewed as threats to domestic animals, prompting farmers to take lethal measures. Additionally, habitat loss and poaching contribute to their decline, as they are sometimes targeted for their pelts or other body parts. Conservation efforts aim to address these issues and promote coexistence with wildlife.
Servals are native to Africa and can be found in a range of habitats including grasslands, savannas, and wetlands. They are most commonly found in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Servals have a wide distribution across countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and Botswana.
Servals are listed as "least concern" on the IUCN Red List, meaning their population is stable and not at immediate risk of extinction. However, they are still threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal wildlife trade, particularly in some regions of Africa. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these unique wild cats and their habitats.
Servals typically give birth to 1-4 kittens in a litter, with 2 being the most common number.
Cheetahs are larger and have a more slender build compared to Servals. Cheetahs are known for their speed and are mainly found in Africa, while Servals are smaller wild cats with distinctive large ears and are found in various habitats across Africa.

Yes, the servaline is a naturally occurring colour mutation where, instead of spots, the coat pattern consists of all over freckling. Servalines can occur in normal spotted litters of servals due to a recessive gene present in both parents. Black and white servals also occur in the wild, with white servals being much more rare.
