Margays survive in the rainforest through their exceptional climbing abilities, which allow them to navigate the dense canopy and access a diverse range of prey, including birds and small mammals. Their spotted fur provides excellent camouflage among the dappled light of the forest, helping them avoid detection by both predators and prey. Additionally, margays are primarily nocturnal, which helps them hunt effectively during the night when their activity levels peak and competition is reduced. These adaptations enable them to thrive in the complex and competitive rainforest ecosystem.

Servals do not live in the rainforest. They live on the African savanna, which is open grassland. Some small rainforest cats include ocelots, jaguarundi, and margays.
Wildcats that can be found in rainforests include species such as jaguars, ocelots, margays, and clouded leopards. These wildcats have adapted to the dense vegetation and diverse ecosystems found in rainforest environments.
