A serval (Leptailurus serval) is observed resting on its left side within a shallow dirt patch surrounded by green grass. The animal exhibits a tan coat with distinct black spots, prominent upright ears, and a visible black-ringed tail. Its eyes are not clearly visible, suggesting closure or a downward gaze. In the far left foreground, a deflated, worn soccer ball, partially reddish and white, lies on the grass. A chain-link fence, supported by two visible vertical metal posts, extends across the midground and background, separating the immediate area from dense trees and foliage. A building with a light-colored roof is partially visible in the distant left background, beyond the fence. The scene is outdoors under strong daylight conditions in Athi River ward, Kenya.
