So the law in Washinton states this exactly: "(2) "Potentially dangerous wild animal" means one of the following types of animals, whether bred in the wild or in captivity, and any or all hybrids thereof:

(a) Class mammalia

(i) Order carnivora

(A) Family felidae, only lions, tigers, captive-bred cougars, jaguars, cheetahs, leopards, snow leopards, and clouded leopards;

And that's all it says for the family Felidae, or cats. And you'll notice the word "only" before the list of banned cats. This tells me that Servals are not on this list specifically. The way I interpret it, they're not illegal. I do know that any variety of Savannah cat is banned in the city limits of Seattle, so I would assume that Servals are also banned in that city. But as for Washington State law, the above is all that is stated. Hope this helps.

Cats do not lay eggs. Cats are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young. They are not monotremes, or egg-laying mammals.

No. To my knowledge no exotic large cats are legal. You can check with the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound in Rosamond California. A serval who was privately owned by a zoo employee in California and was confiscated because it was illegal to own them. The serval ended up at the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound.

As a general rule, wild animals make very poor pets. Big cats don't have the same instincts that domestic cats do. They are notoriously hard to litter train and often really need a lot more space, sometimes including some sort of outdoor enclosure.

If you want a bigger cat that has that look and is kind of wilder, look at Savannah cats. They are descended from the servals but are better adapted to house living.

Other than that you'd have to check with your local dept of fish game and wildlife to find out rules on owning a wild cat.

Servals are very expensive and make terrible pets. Each year 30000 cats are put to sleep because they cannot find homes. Adopt a cat from your local shelter and donate money to help preserving small cats in the wild.

First of all, there is no such thing as an average kitten. They are each King or Queen of all they see, including you. You only live to serve them.

Second, in Southern California, 30 - 40% of cats in Animal Shelters are euthanized. Some of them before the 'legal time limit', it seems. For less than $50 (American) you can save a lifelong protector. An arch-backed, hissing cat is a formidable adversary, and they WILL sacrifice their life for yours faster than you can blink.

Servals are felines related to caracals,lions and cheetahs mostly. Servals are the largest and fastest of the medium cats, they can run up to 57 mph top speed and are 5 ft 3 inches long. The most common feature of the serval is its legs, servals have the longest legs of any cat, adult males can reach 5 ft at the shoulder and 4 ft 8 inches for females.

Lions have no natural predators. Lions are Apex Predators that are on the top of their food chain and have no natural predators that can kill adult lions. However young lions are vulnerable to Hyena's. Also, adult Elephants, Rhino's or Hippo's can injure or even kill lions when there is a face off but that happens very rarely.

There are cats in Africa, but not the kind of cats you have, or imagine. The common cats that spring to mind are the big cats: Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs. However there are many medium-sized and even very small species of cat that are native to Africa:

Medium-sized cat:

African Golded Cat

Caracal

Serval

Smaller-size cat:

African Wildcat

Black-Footed Cat (one of the smallest species of cat)

Sand Cat

They have big ears to hear their pry and predators.

They also have very long, strong legs with help them to pounce on their prey. Because their legs are so long and strong they can catch birds out of the air. They have been known to jump 12ft in the air!

The serval is NOT an endangered species. This is good, for all sorts of reasons. So many wild cats are endangered. The threat has largely come from the trades, fur and, sadly, pet. Another problem has been degradation of habitat, specifically deforestation. Fortunately, the serval ranks in the "Least Concern" category of potentially threatened animal species. At least for now.

"Black Panthers" do live in the rain forests. But these are the only kind of panthers that do. They live there with the assistance of their black color.

A carnivore because it eats birds, lizards, insects, frogs, rodents.

It eats stuff like frogs, hares, small animals of that type. can't remember precisely, but i imagine it'd eat stuff like rats, too. they've been known to take down springbok, but most prey is rather smaller than they are. -Myrl-

So that they can pick a candidate to vote for the president. If a candidate is not chosen, the chairperson calls for a second ballot.

The Serval is a medium sized cat that can be found in Africa. It is related to the caracal and African golden cat. In Afrikaans it is known as the tiger-bush-cat.

no a serval can jump higher

Yes, a serval is a mammal, it is a cat.
