    serval and genet are very similar. What is the best way to tell them apart?
    Is there a single difference that is a sure thing?

    Serval looks like a cat, with very short face, big ears, long legs, and tail shorter than its body.
    Genet is shaped more like a mongoose with long face (and a big black blotch below each eye), short legs, and tail longer than its body.
