Incredible footage - Thanks for posting! Perfect example of why their legs and necks are so long (longest, proportionately, of ALL cats) - For visibility when hunting in the tall grass of the Serengeti. You captured the signature "serval pounce", too - just awesome! :)

I do know that whenever Servals and Caracals compete in the same territory, the Servals always lose ground. Similar to how in Minnesota, the only place where Bobcats and Lynx overlap, the Bobcats do better.

@Zpik3 You mean how there was no "trick" to it, or how the knowledge was "lost". What i meant is that no matter how much we read about it we cannot know what it is like to domesticate a species unless we have done so ourselves. This would be a good example but servals have been kept as pets for a long time.

It's actually becoming common for people to own servals. Apparently they're like giant half-wild cats, the only positive outcome i can think of is that they won't be hunted for their furs. And if you want to get really technical then i'll have you know that many things can be tamed. Dogs were once wolves, and cat's were once wild cats. It was just to long ago for us to know how it was done.

A wild animal in Africa could care less about a human in a car and will even hop up on the cars and use them as look out posts. its when humans get out of the car that makes them run off. Cheetahs are known for just walking up to people in cars and just jumping on their cars and sniffing the car doors. As long as you stay in the car they are calm.

@Henrika16 With every house 'companion' there's a process of training. Naturally, some servals will mess up and do something that is unwanted, but that's just like ANY pet/child/guest/friend/significant other/pretty much everything and anything in life.

@nickibaby64 Yes but they were mostly kept around as mousers to protect granaries and such. They still have issues with the instinct to mark everything in the house. I have heard that some people have overcome this by socializing their cats constantly, and they praise them for marking outside, which gives them an appropriate outlet to perform this behaviour. There are still mistakes in the house though.... This could be perfected by domesticating them I'm sure.

@Zpik3 And the outcome? Now they are extremely common house hold pets. If you can house a "wild" animal so that it lives a happy life then i don't see what the problem is. I'm not saying that we need to start taking elephants and giraffes into our homes but if servals make decent companions then why not? I strongly believe that certain requirements must be made before owning one. Servals have been described as energetic, large house cats. Do YOUR research before telling me otherwise.

My own domestic cats mark, and I am not against Serval ownership by any means (I want one someday) but cats spraying is also the number one reasons cats end up in shelters. As long as you are prepared to work around it, kudos to anyone willing to do so :)

Servals dont cost 20K. Asheras (scam cats) cost 22K. Even the serval x domestic hybrids (savannahs) don't cost 20K the more expensive ones are a 1/4 of that. Where are you get this crazy info from?

@Zpik3 I'm not hinting anything, All i'm saying is that humans and "wild" animals can live together in peace. If both species are happy and well accommodated then i see no problem, How do I come across like an idiot? And it was "done", we weren't there to see when it first started but it was DONE. If it was done back then it can be done now. I'm not implying that you break the spirit of the animal, I'm just saying that you can live together without cruel methods of "domestication"

Servals can be kept as pets although not everyone should have one. They do require a lot of care and need a lot of room to roam. I hate those people that try to keep them locked up in a small house all the time. They are beautiful animals and should be respected. They are NOT a house cat and should not be treated like one.

It wasn't "done". We stole pups and cubs and tried training them. Breeding them into captivity and gradually changing their instincts to encompass us as part of their pack, and not food. Same for cats, they were taken wild, introduced to societies as a way to control rodents. They quickly learned to use us for food and shelter.

You do realize every domesticated animal we have now was once a fully wild animal right? And that servals have been domesticated for over a thousand years right? And how would you know how the serval feels? Are you a serval? No you're not. Besides they live longer and healthier lives in captivity without the normal harsh climates, starvation, competition, predators and disease.

There goes another Serval on a straight line track to the shelter. This isn't a cat that will just lazy around the house. When they are bored or feeling very active they can go through our house and know just about everything over in 30seconds (especially if you have two that are playing). Your parents are very irresponsible for getting you one of these. This is not only an exotic pet, but unless you spend a lot of time with these cats when they are growing up they can be dangerous.

in the wild, where it belongs! I personally dont believe they should be kept as pets, because no matter how happy you can make them in your home, they will always be happier out in the wild. Plus, I don't think it's a good thing to support the exotic animal trade because there is a lot of cruelty to animals involved in that business. Buy a shelter cat that needs a good loving home instead.

WTF? Domestic cats have the same problem with marking territory. They have the exact same problems as a domestic cat would have with training and wild instinct. They spray and want to mark their territory. No matter what you do they will always see your (their) home as territory that needs to be freshly marked. Sure socializing helps but they still do it. period. Just like housecats

Guys stop arguing when people have servals as pets they need to have a huge enclosure outside where they can do what ever they want! So there not locked up inside and kept as normal pets. They also are normally fed live prey like feeding mice and other meats. It is safe to have a pet serval if you care for them right. They are kept a lot different then ordinary domestic cats so it's not bad to have them as pets and they still live a wonderful happy life that's safer.They are also need exercised

What? That is THE most ignorant post ever. Servals are way less dangerous then a dog. SHould we ban dogs too? No. Dogs have been known to kill human children especially bulls. I agree that these cats should not be kept as regular house cats, or treat em like a dog with leash. These cats need space to roam around free and hunt. Unless you can let em out everyday for a few hours, supervised. Have a huge lawn, garden for them to roam around, a good neighbourhood. You should not keep them as pets.
