Wheeling in Ohio County, West Virginia — The American South (Appalachia)
Serval
Servals have the largest ears of any feline species in comparison to their body size! Being nocturnal, these large ears help them locate prey in complete darkness.
Although their populations are stable, their numbers are affected by the destruction of wetlands, poaching and poisoning campaigns to decrease rodents.
