Woken from a dream... This is our entry to Allerlei 's 10 year DAnniversary contest DREAMY ANIMALS CONTEST 2017 - 4 DAYS LEFT!Hello, hello!
EDIT: only 4 days left! Don't miss a chance! Acepted images here http://allerlei.deviantart.com/favourites/73327679/DREAMY-ANIMALS-CONTEST-2017 ! (so far I accepted all, so if you don't see your picture there, contact me, it can happen )
 
As I said in my last journal, I’m 10 years on Deviantart already! Oh, the time flies sooo fast… 
Well, let’s stop with sentiment: I’ve got a contest for you as a celebration of this anniversary!
Theme is DREAMY ANIMALS. Honestly, I’ll let you decide on your own if your submission fits to the rules or not – I won’t reject any. But in final I’ll be deciding with Erlist and with VillageLucy which ones are the best and you have almost 3 months to take a photo/draw/do a sculpture etc., so you have a plenty time to think about it
 
Here come rules and, of course, prizes are below as well!
 
Rules:
:bu

I know that when you really look at this photo, it may seem a bit awkward, yet at the same time, it shows the close bond of this Serval family. They're always quite attentive of one another, and though the kittens like to climb on top of each other to find the best sleeping spot, they'll often let it pass or shove them away like any good sibling woul do - only to lie right on top of them in return

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.

They are really very cute
I've had the pleasure to watch a few litters grow up in different zoos, and they're super adorable

We had a wonderful tabby with a spotted belly named Buster. He was a master of Cute and also was our little athlete/gymnast. He was also the Official Greeter in the house: he'd be right there whenever someone new came over, his attitude was very much "Hi new human! I'm a cat, you must pet me!" I do miss him.
