Repetitions[edit]

There is a repetition: "The closely set ears are black on the back with a horizontal white band;" and "ears [...] black on the back with a white horizontal band in the middle". --NGC 54 (talk | contribs) 22:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also here, at melanism: "Melanistic servals are also known" and "Both leucistic and melanistic servals have been observed in captivity. In addition, the melanistic variant has been seen in the wild, but these occurrences are rare". --NGC 54 (talk | contribs) 22:30, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
