Savannah cats are taller with longer legs, smaller ears and spots, while Bengals have more traditional cat features with marbling patterns.
Savannahs tend to be more energetic, inquisitive and adventurous, needing lots of interaction. Bengals are very active and playful but more trainable.
Due to their wild roots, both breeds need lots of toys and activities to stay stimulated. Savannahs require taller cat trees and perches to climb.
Savannah kittens start around $2,000, while Bengals cost $1,000+. Both eat premium diets and have higher lifetime costs than typical house cats.
Bengal cats adjust better to new people and environments. Savannahs bond strongly with their owners but can be skittish around strangers and guests initially.
Savannahs are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, weighing 15-25 lbs. Bengals average 10-15 lbs. Both hybrid breeds live 12-20 years on average.
Active owners who can devote time to training and interaction are ideal. Savannahs require more handling but both need lots of playtime and environmental enrichment.
