Stand by for one thing fairly sudden. For some motive unknown presently, there may be affirmation {that a} wild cat native solely to Africa is admittedly on the unfastened in Decatur, Illinois.
Have you ever heard of a serval? It’s a cat native solely to Africa that WANDTV (We are Central Illinois) experiences is unfastened in Decatur, Illinois. They say this African feline was sighted “North East aspect of the City of Decatur”. This is what the cat appears like, by the best way.

There’s so much to unpack right here. First, Wikipedia says that the African serval is a carnivore, however it’s regular prey are rats, rodents and small animals. They are solitary animals, but when a serval had been to be cornered by a human, it is exhausting to say how this animal may reply. Assume it is harmful and you will not be sorry.
What on this planet is a serval doing in Decatur, Illinois?
There’s no affirmation from officers on the Macon County Animal Control but, however you’d must assume that somebody had this poor cat as a pet (illegally, I’d add) and it escaped.
Oh, by the best way, servals can bounce…actually bounce.
Let’s hope that this serval might be safely discovered and captured in Decatur, Illinois (I can not imagine I’m really writing that) earlier than it’s injured or injures somebody/one thing.
