What do you get if you merge a maned wolf, cheetah, and a bat-eared fox together? Probably something weird but no, A SERVAL! We are back today after a long hiatus for another #WildcatWednesday right here on #sciencetwitter for this special October edition before HALLOWEEN! 1/ Servals! These springy death monsters, what’s the deal with them? Well similar to cheetahs they are a highly specialized species that utilize much of the Serengeti and the southern region of Africa to exploit open grassland communities! #sciencetwitter /2

While it might not be Cinco de Mayo right now Sand cats (Felis margarita) are having a desert party everyday! Tune in for this late night special of #WildcatWednesday as I share the wonderful magnificence and natural history of this alluring species! #sciencetwitter Cats live in the sand? No!! Of course not... they just repurpose abandoned fox and porcupine burrows! *mutters* These are rather small animals weighing 3-7.5 lbs and only 15-20 inches in length allowing them to fit in small places with ease! #sciencetwitter

*whispers* you know what time it is? A LATE NIGHT EDITION OF #WildcatWednesday!!!! Sorry for the wait everyone I’m sure you were all just roiling over the anticipation but fear not it is time for our second cat this series.. behold pallas’s cat! #ScienceTwitter /1 I know what you’re thinking, Yowlie, that can’t be a real cat right?! But alas my cat loving patrons IT IS!!! This extraordinarily odd feline holds the genus Octocolobus which in Greek language means “ugly-eared”! There has to be a reason for such a name... #ScienceTwitter /2

Have you ever wondered why some cats purr and other cats roar? Did you know that house cats aren’t the only felines that go “meow”?? Why does this happen?! The answer might be more simple than you realize! Let’s get into it! #ScienceTwitter 1/ 🐾 Cats! Everyone’s favorite machines of predation and cuteness are categorized in two main genera, Felis and Pantheras. Some people acknowledge these categories as the “purring cats” and the “roaring cats”. What separates them though?? #ScienceTwitter 2/ 🐾
