Size is very dependent on generation and sex. Early (F1 and F2) generations are usually the largest due to the stronger genetic influence of the African serval ancestor, usually weighing 4.5 to 11 kilograms (9.9 to 24.3 lb), although there is considerable financial incentive for breeders to produce F1 cats as large as possible; some are the size of dogs and can weigh 18 kilograms (40 lb) or more, and in the US can fetch very high prices.<sup id="cite_ref-NewYorker-2013_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NewYorker-2013-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Like most cat breeds, males tend to be larger than females, and as with other hybrid cat breeds such as the <a href="/wiki/Chausie" title="Chausie">Chausie</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bengal_cat" title="Bengal cat">Bengal</a>, most F1 Savannah cats will possess many of the exotic traits from the wild (serval) ancestor, which recede in later generations.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The small head is taller than wide, and the cat has a long, slender neck. The back of the ears have <a href="/wiki/Eyespot_(mimicry)" title="Eyespot (mimicry)">ocelli</a>—a central light band bordered by black, dark grey or brown, giving an eye-like effect. The short tail has black rings, with a solid black tip. The eyes are blue in kittens (as in other cats), and may be green, brown, gold or of a blended shade in the adult. The eyes have a "boomerang" shape, with a hooded brow to protect them from harsh sunlight.

A Savannah cross may also be referred to by breeders as "SV × SV" (where SV is the TICA code for the Savannah breed). Savannah generation filial numbers also have a letter designator that refers to the generation of SV-to-SV breeding. The designation A means one parent is a Savannah and the other is an outcross. B is used when both parents are Savannahs, with one of them being an A. The C designation is used when both parents are Savannahs and one of them is a B. Therefore, A × (any SV) = B; B × (B,C,SBT) = C; C × (C, SBT) = SBT, SBT × SBT = SBT. F1 generation Savannahs are always A, since the father is a nondomestic outcross (the serval father). The F2 generation can be A or B. The F3 generation can be A, B or C.
