African cats are a group of wild cats native to the continent of Africa. The four most common African cats are the LION, CHEETAH, serval, and CIVET. The LION is the largest of the African cats, with males weighing up to 250 kg. The CHEETAH is the fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h. The serval is a medium-sized cat with long legs and a short tail. The CIVET is a small, nocturnal cat with a long body and a bushy tail. All four of these African cats are important species in their respective ecosystems.
