are serval cats dangerous

Serval cats can be dangerous due to their wild instincts, territorial nature, and physical capabilities. While they are not usually aggressive towards humans, servals are wild animals with strong hunting instincts, sharp teeth, and claws, which can cause serious injury. They have been involved in incidents causing harm, particularly to children or small pets, and their territorial behavior can lead to defensive aggression. Although it is theoretically possible for a serval to kill a human, such occurrences are extremely rare. Servals are not recommended as pets because they require large spaces to roam and hunt, and they can be unpredictable and difficult to manage around other pets or children.
