The Margay ( Leopardius wiedii ) is a small cat native to Central and South America.that is listed as "near threatened since 2008 because remaining populations are thought to be declining due to loss of habitat following loss of forrested areas. The Margay is a solitary and nocturnal cat that lives foremost in primary evergreen and deciduous forrested areas. Until the 1990's Margay's were hunted illegally for the wildlife trade which resulted in a large decrease in the population. Most notably the Margay is a very skillful climber  moreso than its relative The Ocelot and is sometimes called the tree Ocelot because of its ability.and are found exclusively in dense forrest.The Margay is one of the four spotted  varieties of cats in Belize.
