= is for Margay=

**The margay lives in Central and South America. It is a spotted cat just like the leopard or cheetah. The cat is nocturnal which means that it comes out at night. Margays can weigh up to twenty pounds and can be as long as 32 inches. It eats small animals like birds, lizards, monkeys, and frogs. This cat spends most of its time in trees. It is one of two cats that can run down a tree head first. People at first thought that this animal was extinct but now it has been found out that is only Near Threatened. This means that is not very close to being extinct.**
