Description
When: August 4, 2019
Where: Dierenpark Zie-ZOO Volkel, The Netherlands
This little girl is by far the fuzziest baby we've ever seen. Not that strange, since she was about 10-days-old So tiny and vulnerable and adorable
She was laid there in the straw by her mother, who came by a little later to take her behind the shrubs again.
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.

It's always a tricky business - mortality rate is still high
This mama Serval is a good one, she's raised many litters though she does a lot better (as do most other female Servals) when she's taking care of more than one kitten. They get stressed a bit more when there's just one, it seems.
