Margay – The Tiger Cat

The Margay is a solitary wildcat with some very unique characteristics. Its look alone make it stand-out although it is very solitary people rarely have the chance to see it. The Margay is one of the few animals in the world that can climb trees with their heads facing down, thanks to their very special joints, able to turn up to 180 degrees.

The Margay is on the endangered animals list, but no one really knows how large their population really isĀ  between Mexico and Argentina.Margays don’t take well to humans invading their habitats and sacientists say they are so well adapted to life in trees that they can go their entire lives without touching the ground.

Like all cats, Margay see very well at night and have no problem feeding of birds, reptiles and squirrels, if they can catch them.

Edit: Guys I apologize for the grammar and spelling mistakes but I only do this as a hobby and most of the time I write and post the photos in a hurry. Hope you understand and thanks for stopping by. I posted a link to where I found the photos, it’s a Russian photo site, but I doubt they can take credit for them.

    bill, it is obvious that not many here like you. i counted only a few supporters in all of those comments.

    as stated, english is changing. i don’t get mad at you for not speaking in perfect middle english or old english. afterall, that is how english was “made” to be.

    you are an arrogant asshole, and you will die off soon enough to not see english evolve past the point where you cannot understand it at all.

    Just wanted to say that I agree with Bill. Some traditions are worth treasuring, and the sooner the younger generation realizes this, the happier they will be. Us “old” people (I’m 27) remember a day when you actually had to dial a phone and have an auditory conversation in complete sentences to make yourself understood. Pretty soon we’ll just be grunting at each other…sigh…the days of Shakespeare are tragically gone, I’m afraid.

    Cute pussy, btw :)

    Neat cat. But describing it as a “Tiger Cat” seems absurd as it looks more like a cheetah.

    Oh dear, Bill. You make some cogent points but spoil it all with a split infinitive. Eheu!
