“The black serval. Seeing a "normal" serval is hard enough as they are primarily nocturnal... but a melanistic one? Absolute magic. This individual, named "Manja," lives in the asiliaafrica Namiri Plains. It's likely he travelled from the nearby Ngorongoro Crater, which is far higher in altitude -- 2000m (6500ft) versus Namiri's 1000m (3280ft). Melanism in servals has been noted at higher altitudes, most likely due to reduced exposure to sunlight.” 📸 + caption by George Turner (georgetheexplorer)
