Margay
- The margay is widely distributed in Central and South American rainforests from Mexico to Argentina.
- It looks similar to the ocelot, but it is smaller and has larger eyes and a shorter muzzle.
- The margay is a solitary nocturnal feline, and is best known for its tree-climbing skills.
- Margays have been seen hanging from a tree branch with one foot, and their back ankles are capable of turning 180 degrees around, enabling it to climb headfirst down trees.
- The margay hunts birds and numerous small mammals and reptiles in trees, and is almost never seen on the ground.
- The margay has been observed mimicking the calls of its prey to lure them closer.
- Margays are hunted for their pelts, with up to 14,000 a year being killed.
- Margays are listed as "Near Threatened" on the ICUN Endangered Species List.
- Margay cubs have a 50% mortality rate, which also contributes to their endangerment.
- There are ten subspecies of margay distributed across Central and South America.
Hello, *bcbdrums here. I do not know where !Harmony-Bender went or if she is coming back. But I will gladly keep the group going the same way she did until she returns.
