What kind of cats are those... I am probably wrong but thinking Savana cats, or Bengals?
I know they are very large! I use to want one of the Savana cats... Still do but just dont have the money and to my knowledge they are illegal here in AK...

The kitty in the front looks to be a full-blooded African Serval. A 'Savannah' is a hybrid between an African Serval and a domestic cat, so you are pretty darned close.

I am not positive as to the species of the one in the back, though I can say with certainty that it isn't a Bengal (a good friend of mine breeds them, so I am lucky enough to get to visit that kind of kitty on a regular basis).

It may be a Savannah, but I would have to see a closer picture at a different angle, preferably of it standing up to be sure.

i saw a show on animal planet about these guys they are awesome, they have a super cool hissing sound and get to be the size of a medium dog lol, theres actually one at my local exotic store and its the sweetest cat ever. they need ALOT of room from what i hear and the further from the pure they get the less wild they act. or atleast thats what i think they said lol

great looking serval. What kind of enclosure is that? I like that alot more then chain link it looks to be alot stronger. And the baby gator is so cute sadly we are not allowed to own those in south carolina

the big one is a purebred serval and the little one is a Savanah cat

Those look like servals to me. Though I've seen some savannahs that are pretty close.

OMG, those little gators are so precious! So yeah, that cat in front looked like the serval.

There's a wild cat sanctuary in Tampa, Florida that has cabins for overnight guests. They used to let you pick the wildcat of your choice to spend the night with you in the cabin. One of the choices was a serval. They eventually stopped allowing the cats to sleep with the guests. I imagine, for liability reasons.
