Labels: text | screenshot OCR: SERVAL'S SKELETON The serval is a medium-sized cat that hunts mice and other small animals in the grasslands of Africa. Its skeleton is distinctive in a number of ways, because of the manner in which it hunts. The serval has a very long neck and long front limbs (it is sometimes known as the giraffe-cat) to gain extra height for peering over the long grasses in which it lives and hunts. Its long foot bones provide it with the leverage it needs for springing and pouncing onto its intended prey. SEE ALSO
