Margay dad spruces up one of the kids. Having been elusive over the past months the warmer weather and sunshine seem to have encouraged the margay family to spend time outdoors. Great to see them but they are still extremely fast movers to try to photograph or video.
This was an unplanned video opportunity to film these rare cats. I have spent many hours catching only glimpses of these nocturnal animals so when this presented there was no time to get a tripod, hence the shaky hand held production. But I am delighted to have got this footage and about another 20 minutes.
All of the four margays were out in the sunshine and the male gave a lesson in how to pluck a quail.

Margay shows their arboreal abilities as it collects food.
Le margay, dit aussi chat-tigre, chat sauvage de la Nouvelle Espagne (Leopardus wiedii, anciennement Felis wiedii), est un petit félin rencontré dans les forêts tropicales et les milieux broussailleux d'Amérique centrale et du Sud.
L'une de ses caractéristiques physiques particulières réside dans son extrême souplesse, liée intrinsèquement à son comportement arboricole. Par exemple, ses pattes postérieures peuvent pivoter jusqu'à près de 180° lui permettant de descendre d'un arbre ou d'une branche la tête la première.
