What is Margay?
6 Biologists have settled on their classification in the family Leopardus , a group of small spotted cats, which include a wider range of steel, commonly called the dwarf leopard. The name of its species is wiedii , named after the explorer and naturalist from the German area of Wied. His body is 19 to 31 inches (48 to 79 cm) and his tail is another 13 to 20 inches (33 to 51 cm). It weighs from 5.7 to £ 8.8 (£ 2.6 to 4.0 kg).
Ten subspecies of Margay were identified. It is slightly different in color, and this is considered to be adapted to their specific geographical habitats, from the rainforests of the Amazon River basin to the cloud forests of the Andean mountain foothills. Their basic hair is light brown and characteristic for many masked predators in this environment, it is disturbed by seemingly random vertical stripes and rosettes of darker brown or black. The black peaks include their ears' back and striped and inclinedtail.
Margay was sometimes called a "steel tree" because it is an unusually arboreal for a cat and spends most of his life in trees. He is an agile climber who is one of the only two cats known to be able to rise after the first trunk. Most cats are true, they can skip exactly from the branch to branching up to 12 feet (3.7 m) apart. It was even known to pass the length of the tree branch hanging upside down. This skill is allowed by a long tail for balance and long legs, which ends in exceptionally flexible joint ankle and Sharp claws.
, which is with the help of his big eyes, Margay is primarily a night animal, actively hunts at night and rests in the safety of the tree branch during the day. Their diet is considered mostly small mammals, birds and eggs and other animals such as frogs and lizards. Diet analysis from their cottages also reveals some fruits and other vegetations about whichis assumed to help in digestion. Although they are known to be rare, they attacked greater earthly prey on the ground, such as guinea pigs. Testimony of their arborial agility, one of their preferred great prey is monkeys.
Like the life of many other cat species, Margay is lonely. They maintain a territorial domestic range of 4.2 to 6.2 square miles (11 to 16 square kilometers), defined by scents of urine and urine scents. Adults communicate with each other and meet each other only to join. After a relatively long period of pregnancy, a woman usually gives birth to only one kitten, which will have to survive 12 to 18 months to achieve reproductive maturity.
