Wistful

Photo taken in May, 2014 @ BestZOO, The Netherlands

I found another photo of one of the Serval kittens
I suppose it had sort of gone lost, and we sometimes feel like we post to many similar ones, but as it's been a while, I think it's okay. Especially considering the babies have grown to become rather skittish, badly-tempered almost-adults.
I'm glad I have these reminders to their youthful cuteness

Species: Serval

Latin name: Leptailurus Serval

Originiates from Africa.

Current status: Least Concern

 Did you know: 

…DNA studies have shown that the Serval is closely related to the African Wild Cat, and the Caracal.

…Its long legs make it able for the Serval to achieve a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

…The white spots on the back of the Serval’s ears are called “ocelli” and are used to signal kittens when hunting.
