Servals are nocturnal and hunt mostly at night. We were lucky to catch this one in the late afternoon as it was heading out for the night. I previously posted another shot of this serval — more of a portrait. It gave us several different shot opportunities as it slowly got up from its hiding place in the grass when it realized we were onto him/her. It then took a few slow steps, then a few quicker ones, before leaping away. I captured a bit more motion blur than ideal in this photo, but there wasn’t much light and my shutter was pretty slow. Even so, I ended up liking the effect.
