Savannah Cats
Savannah cats are a truly remarkable breed.
They are hybrids between a domestic cat and a serval, which is a type of wild cat that lives in Africa.
This cross breed produces a giant, wild looking domestic cat.
These cats truly are the giants of the cat world.
Savannah cats can fall anywhere between a domestic cat and a serval in terms of size, and they can reach upwards of 20 pounds.
These cats also sport an incredible spotted coat – they really are beautiful and unique!
