Margays

Tewksbury Abbey paid Henry VIII £453 to keep their abbey during the dissolution of the monasteries. This payment enabled the abbey to remain operating for a period of time before eventually being dissolved in 1539.

The scientific name for a margay is Leopardus wiedii.

The main enemies of margays are larger predators such as jaguars, ocelots, and birds of prey. They may also face competition for resources from other small carnivores. Human activities, such as deforestation and hunting, are significant threats to their survival as well.

The margay is a small cat native to Central and South America that is listed as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN since 2008 because remaining populations are thought to be declining due to loss of habitat following conversion of forests. They are also hunted for their gorgeous, and luxurious fur.

The margay, along with its close relatives the ocelot, oncilla, and kodkod, are all afforded strict protection. The biggest threat to these cats is deforestation, which the peoples of these countries need to bring under control. Many species depend on these forests, nearly half the world's species live in rain forests. Source;IUCN Redlist

we have claws to defend ourself

The Margays' biggest enemy are Humans. Humans have led to the Margays extinction in Texas. Now they threaten the cat in its natural habitat, the rainforest. They do this by cutting down trees where the Margays live and by illeagal poaching. Many Margays have been killed for their beautiful fur. But the natural enemies of the margay are jaguars and other animals.....

The Margay, a small wild cat native to Central and South America, primarily feeds on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Its diet is opportunistic, and it often hunts at night, using its excellent climbing skills to pursue prey in trees. Margays are known for their agility and stealth, allowing them to ambush their targets effectively. They also adapt their hunting strategies based on the availability of food in their habitat.

The margay move in the tree to find its pray

In the tropical rain forest in Brazil , North America.

yes they can make excellent pets but they mostly would be better in the wild.(rainforest of central and south America)

They live in the UNDERSTOREY
forest ground

it protects itself by being on a high tree or being in a herd with its friends and relatives.

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.

SCIENTISTS KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THIS SPECIES

nothing eats the margay

No, the Margay is a solitary animal.

Including boat, trailer, and engine, a used BassCat Margay runs around $12,000. A new Margay, maybe $18,000.

A margay cat really has no price, as it is not allowed to be legally sold in most places.

the Margay tends to be smarter in the climbing since it can climb trees head down ocelots are smart as well though, just the margay is the smartest.

Prey are animals that (usually) are animals that are eaten by other animals. Those other animals are predators and scavengers. Most of the time, predators are sometimes scavengers. (Example: Caribou is the prey for the wolf that is the predator.)
