Best Answer

Monkeys birds frogs lizards and rodents, and fruit on occasions. A margay will tipically eat anything smaller than itself that lives in or on a tree. Some people say margays eat human flesh, but considering they rarely weigh more than 8 pounds, that is just a myth.
Margays eat most tree animals and birds.
