A wild African cat is doing its politest possible body language to convince a very unsure dog it comes in peace. Slow blinks, low head, no sudden moves. 🐆🐕🤝 Servals have the longest legs of any cat relative to body size and can leap 3 metres straight up to snatch birds out of the air. Their oversized ears rotate up to 180 degrees and can hear rodents moving underground, which is why they succeed on around half of all hunts, far better than a lion. Servals are solitary in the wild and only come together to breed, so a friendly approach to another species is unusual behaviour. Wildlife groups warn they are also fuelling a boom in exotic pet ownership and hybrid Savannah cats, which conservationists say is bad news for the species.
