26 Margay
The margay is found in the forests of Mexico, the Amazon Basin, Argentina, Uruguay, Belize and Brazil. The margay is right in between the Ocelot and the Oncilla in size. The margay is primarily arboral and refuses to cross open fields. It is the only cat to possess the ability to rotate its hind legs 180° , enabling it to run head first down trees like squirrels. The margay can also hang from a branch by one hind foot. They are exceedingly quick, and even during a fall they can grab hold of a branch with one front or hind paw and climb up again.
