Releasing a serval
The serval (pronounced serval, Leptailurus serval, is a medium-size Afican wild cat). Modern molecular DNA analysis indicates that servals maintain their own unique lineage descending from the same Felid ancestor as the lion, and though the serval shares common traits with the cheetah, it is the cheetah which is thought to have descended from ancient servals. Similar DNA studies have shown the African Golden Cat and the caracal are closely related to the serval, and may have branched by cross-breeding.
This is a picture of me looking at the serval inside the cage, everybody had a chance to look at the serval before we release him.
