The main difference stems from the different exotic cats used to produce the two breeds. The Bengal descends from the Asian Leopard Cat (ALC), while the Savannah has the African Serval as its ancestor. The ALC gave the Bengals a strong muscular body, small rounded ears, large rounded eyes and more rounded contours to the head. The Savannah inherits from the Serval an extremely leggy, lean body and long neck along with distinct large upright ears, smaller hooded eyes and a more angular face. The Bengal can have two-toned rosetted spots, while the Savannah should have bold solid spotting. Brigitte Cowell (http://www.kirembosavannahs.com/)

About the photo:
Spots on the Lake Chessie BST F3B , Lisa Jeffrey owned;
Chessie is a beautiful BST Savannah, she is special to us as she has the most outgoing & sweet personailty. Chessie maintains a wonderful horizontal dark solid round spotting pattern on a golden warm background, she has very tall and long legs and a nice short thick tail, she also features a expressive triangular face.
