Margay \\ The Marga

Margay \\ The Margay is perfectly designed for life in the trees. It's the only cat that can rotate its hind legs 180°, enabling it to run head first down trees like a squirrel. It can also hang from a branch by one hind foot! Over 14,000 Margays are killed each year, just for their pelt. This has decimated the Margay population because they only reproduce once every 2 years and the kitten mortality rate is 50%.
