Margays are small felines that spend most of their lives in the trees. Margays can rotate their ankles 180 degrees, allowing them to climb down trees headfirst. They have been observed jumping up to 12 feet horizontally and have been known to mimic the voices of infant monkeys so they can eat the parents.

Wanted to share some more art I just haven't uploaded from last year! Really enjoyed doing these feline studies, dozens of hours of unseen research went into each on top of the many hours it took to draw 😵

Also shout to my cat Ezra who I snuck into the Felis study to represent the domestic cat hehe :3c

My piece for the Caffeine Rush zine hosted by @bycmykae! I had so much fun working on this piece and getting back into traditional painting - with coffee no less - was a nice challenge.

Neku Sakuraba from TWEWY is a Margay! (Leopardus wiedii)

Requested by @glovedghosts !

A unique species of cat with a solitary nature and incredible night vision, the margay is wholly adaptated for true aboreal life-- they have incredible joint flexibility in the hind legs, and are able to run headfirst down trees like squirrels! The margay is the first neotropical predator recorded as using mimicry, with calls able to closely imitate the vocalisation produced by their preferred prey-- in the original obeservation, specifically the sounds of a juvenile tamarin.
