The serval is a medium-sized African wild cat. The word comes from the Portuguese word serval meaning wolf-deer . Modern DNA analysis indicates that servals maintain their own unique lineage descending from the same ancestor as the lion. Although the serval shares common traits with the cheetah, it is the cheetah which is thought to have descended from ancient servals, rather than the other way around. The serval is believed to be closely related to the African golden cat and the caracal.

The caracal is a fiercely territorial medium-sized cat ranging over Western Asia and Africa. The word caracal comes from the Turkish word karakulak , meaning black ear . Although it has traditionally had the alternative names Persian Lynx, Egyptian Lynx, and African Lynx, it is no longer considered to be an actual lynx. Instead, it is now believed to be closely related to the African golden cat and the serval. The caracal’s life expectancy is around 12 years in the wild and up to 17 years in captivity.
