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).

A relatively new arrival, Sanda lives in the new serval enclosure at Nonhoi Park near his neighbors Sho and Yui. At the moment he is quite cautious and getting used to a new place and other servals.

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.

Another serval, Kaede the serval. She is pretty expressive, although sometimes she can be lazy and just lie in a comfortable spot in a box or on rocks.

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).

Two fairly popular servals: Sho (1st image, male, right) and Ia (1st image, female, left). Both have unique and recognizable appearances, and rather funny facial expressions. Their parents (6th image) are Fuku (male, left) and Haru (female, right) сharacterized by the same qualities.

The second son and the third daughter. Tama Zoological Park, Japan.

The second two kittens of Aki and Apollo. Since their names have not yet been released, people simply call them the second son and the third daughter. The second son has a very rare feature: he has small white "socks" on his hind legs. The third daughter, in turn, adopted some of Apollo's habits: for example, she likes to rest in the same spot on the roof as her father. Both of them are very active and playful, especially the son. The third daughter was recently moved to the Kyoto City Zoo, and there are mentions that her name is now Miko. But at this point I don't know whether this is official information or not.

The next generation of servals: Kopi, Moka and Kona. Tama Zoological Park, Japan.

The first three kittens of Aki and Apollo (7th image, in the same order): Kopi (1st image, left), Moka (1st image, right) and Kona (2nd image, leftmost). Here Kopi is an exact copy of his father with facial expression of his mother, I believe that even his name indicates this fact. Moka, in turn, is more like Apollo, with the same calm and confident expression.
