Fluidr / Serval-7585 by MyKeyC

A Serval is a small beautiful spotted cat. (20-40 lbs) We saw a few of them in the morning, well before light to photograph. However, one morning we spotted one after sunrise and I was given a few brief moments to capture a few shots before it darted away. I’ve read that they are active both day and night, although I suspect that they are much more active at night or during dusk and dawn. A beautiful creature, I’m grateful it gave me a shot. (Leptailurus serval) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 @ f/2.8, 1/500 second, ISO 640)
