What do Savannahs look like?
Savannah coloration, like Servals, range from light beige, tawny brown, light to reddish gold, gray, silver, smoke or solid black (melanistic). Patterns may be spotted or marbled. The spotted pattern runs together in places making what appears as stripes, on the forehead, on the top of the head and down the back of the neck, on the tail, and sometimes on the legs. Their face has prominent tear lines and there are light ocelli markings on the back of the ears. They have white or lighter areas on the chin and upper neck area. Some spots are solid black and in some Savannahs, the spots are shaded, depending on what domestic cat used in the breeding. The TICA Savannah Breed Standard does not accept marbled patterns for showing however they seem to be very popular with people not interested in showing.
