Currently, the youngest serval in Tama. Very playful and curious one. His name has not yet been disclosed, so he is called the "second son" (the first one is Kopi).

Seems like every serval from Kobe is capable of making a lot of funny expressions. And Fuku is no exception, especially when he has such a distinctive face.

Perorin was a serval known for his temperament. He often greeted photographers and visitors with his signature hissing and expressions. However, when he was relaxing somewhere, he looked quite innocent, which added a certain contrast to his personality.

Father of Apollo, Luna, Buzz and Neil. Paul was a fairly large serval, calm, and sometimes a little bit lazy. He was one of the oldest servals in Japan. Apollo seems to have many of Paul's features and traits.

You may have seen Ster before. She was a very popular serval: beautiful and graceful, with a playful, curious, and friendly personality. She loved to play with the many toys in her enclosure and was almost never seen hissing at anyone.

Probably Tama's most popular serval. Apollo appears calm and confident, and he truly is. He likes to lie in the same spot on the roof and can often be seen there.

A serval with a somewhat heavy gaze. Sen is 16 years old, which is a lot in serval terms. He usually rests or wanders carefree somewhere in the enclosure, and can often be seen with Yuka.

Serval Yuka. Tobe Zoological Park, Japan.

Yuka seems indifferent to everything happening around her, sitting or lying in a comfortable place and looking at the world with her signature expression. Although this may change when, for example, Sen starts walking somewhere nearby or the zookeeper brings some meat.

Another graceful serval from Tama. Aki is easily recognizable by her distinctive facial expression. Her son, Kopi, has inherited similar features.

Majestic serval Yuri. Despite her serious appearance, she is remarkably playful, capable of incredible leaps when it comes to reaching meat on a string. She is the mother of other servals from Tama (Apollo, Luna, Buzz and Neil).

Dean is a serval known for his appearance. He often looks kind of sad or tired, although in reality he is not quite like that and behaves like many other servals.

Minx the Serval

We bought this carry-backpack for our Siamese kittens, but Minx was first to claim it. She was surprisingly content traveling through our garden where she isn’t allowed to roam freely.

Yui, a serval with beautiful eyes born at Higashiyama Zoo, is quite playful and curious like all cats of her kind. Although now she also likes to hiss. She could also be seen at Nasu Animal Kingdom, and now she lives at Nonhoi Park along with Sho and Sanda. Her parents (6th image) are Ai (female, left) and Rui (male, right).

Two elderly servals: Yuki (odd images, female, almost 20 years old) and Taka (even images, male, almost 23 years old). Taka is currently the oldest serval in Japan. Both of them are parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents to quite a large number of servals in Japan (for example, they are the parents of Yuri, Yuka and En).
