The Novosibirsk Zoo keeps this species since 1980. Breeds regularly since 1984. For more than 20 years, 130 kittens were born. Servals breed well in captivity, but no other Zoo can boast such a large number of cubs. One of the serval females deserves a special mention. This female was called “Aza” and she gave birth to 45 cubs. When the process of feeding cubs is violated for some reason, the Zoo always tries to find an foster. 14 serval kittens were fed by a domestic cat. In 1987 and 1988, three serval kittens were fed by a bobcat.серв
