		Richard Petty didn’t score 200 victories just to build his resume and Juan Montoya didn't race at Indy just to impress the babes.
		At Margay we don't build winning RaceKarts because it's cool (even though it is) or because it's easy (trust us, it's not).
		We do what we do because when a driver wins on a Margay kart, the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that we feel is immeasurable.

		Although the margay use to be found as far north as Texas, it's current range is from Mexico to northern Argentina in evergreen and deciduous forest habitats below 1200 meters in elevation..
		The margay was one of the four most heavily exploited cats for the fur trade until trade restrictions in the 1980's, although illegal hunting continues to be a problem in some areas.
		Margays are unable to adjust to logged areas of the forest because they are unwilling to cross cleared sections.

		On the margay, as on the ocelot, the fur turns forward in the nape region, and the hairs on the neck are directed towards the crown.
		As a mainly tree dwelling animal, margays are restricted to forest habitat, and have been found in humid tropical evergreen and deciduous forests, montane and cloud forests, wet, swampy savannas and occasionally coffee and cocoa plantations with large trees.
		Margays are the wizards of the tree tops, and are beautifully adapted to their arboreal habitat.

	Margay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Margay (Leopardus wiedii, or Felis wiedii) is a spotted cat native to Central and South America.
		The Margay is very similar to the Ocelot, although the head is a bit shorter, the tail is longer, and the spotted pattern on the tail is different.
		Whereas the Ocelot mostly pursues prey (including venomous snakes) on the ground, the Margay may spend its entire life in the trees, leaping after and chasing birds and monkeys through the treetops.

	ANIMAL REPORT
		I choose the margay to research because the margay is an endangered species that is not that well known.
		The margay lives in the trees, so when we cut trees down, we are causing the margay to lose their home.
		Hopefully the margay will be around long enough for us to find out is they are used for these things, but who know what the future might bring for the margay climbing cat.

	Margay@Everything2.com
		Margays are spotted cats which look quite a lot like ocelots and share some of the same habitats; however, ocelots are rather bigger than a margay's 7 pounds, and have smaller eyes and shorter tails.
		Margays have huge eyes (for their nocturnal hunting) and long tails (for life in the trees), as well as very long whiskers, ankle bones that can rotate 180 degrees outward.
		The supposed rarity may stem from the margay's being nearly impossible to catch (there are only about 70 in zoos throughout the world), since populations are known to be distributed widely, from Mexico through Central and South America, all the way to Argentina.

	Margay Release Project
		Tracks of another margay and a puma were noted visiting the cage several times.
		The margay was fed live prey to ensure it could hunt.

	CSG Species Accounts: Margay (Leopardus wiedi)
		The margay is between the two in size, weighing an average of 3.2 kg (n=4: Redford and Eisenberg 1992).
		Margays are strongly nocturnal, with highest levels of activity recorded between 0100-0500 both in the wild and captivity; during the daytime, they rest in trees (Petersen 1977a, Konecny 1989).
		Trade statistics probably do not reflect the actual number of margays killed, as margays began to appear in international trade at a time of concern over the level of exploitation of the ocelot, and species of spotted cats in trade were rarely verified.

		The margay may be found in the forests of the Yucatan and Central and South America, and one subspecies near the Texas-Mexico border, where it hunts by day, from trees, and seeks small mammals, birds, tree frogs, and lizards.
		So well adapted is the margay to arboreal life that its feet are extraordinarily flexible, with the hind feet capable of turning completely around.
		It is not unusual for a margay to be discovered hanging head downward from one hind foot while it catches a quick nap seventy feet in the air.

		The Margay ranges from the Mexican state of Sonora and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas to Uruguay and Argentina (Gallo-Reynoso and Navarro-Serment 2002).
		Because the Margay is generally less abundant than the Ocelot throughout its range (Goldman 1920; Leopold 1959), and is secretive in its habits, it is unknown whether or not Margays still roam south Texas.
