This is a serval at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo. Handlers had it out on a leash exploring part of the zoo. They will use the animals in shows and educational programs, and I presume the walk aimed to get the animal used to the leash, and to having people around. These cats live wild in Africa, and they can leap 15 feet in the air to snag an unsuspecting bird.
This one appears to have a potential meal in sight. Shot taken with a Canon 7D Mark II with an EF 200-400mm f/4 USM lens.
