Serval, Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya

This is a photo of a serval.

When I arrived at Gamewatchers Safaris’ Porini Lion Camp, the first cat I expected to see was, well, a lion, and hopefully a whole pride of lions.  As it turned out, the first cat or cats I saw were three cheetah brothers and, a few minutes later, this serval cat who was walking around near us and the cheetahs.  The serval is a  beautiful little cat about the size of our bobcats here in North America.   I don’t know how it survives with all the bigger predators, but it does.  Maybe the big cats understand that it mainly feeds on rodents and insects and thus isn’t competing with them for food.
