Margays are small spotted cats that closely resemble ocelots, but are about half the size and lack the ocelot's two prominent black cheek stripes. Margays are forest-dwellers and good climbers and jumpers, so agile that captives have been seen running along a clothesline, jumping 4 m horizontally and as high as 2. Learn more about the Leopardus weidii, more commonly known as a Margay, in this easy-to-read species overview by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
