Laying down and looking up - October EAP2012

My october submission for Endangered Art Project 2012 [link]

Margay (Leopardus wiedii):
"The margay is largely arboreal, although it will also hunt and travel on the ground. An agile and acrobatic climber, its broad feet, flexible toes and large claws give a secure grip, and the long tail aids balance. In addition, the hind feet can rotate inwards through 180°, allowing the margay to turn the feet to grip a tree trunk, and making it the only cat capable of climbing headfirst down vertical trees. Usually active at night, resting in a tree or a vine tangle during the day, the margay mainly hunts small arboreal mammals and birds." from here [link]

Near threatened because of hunting for fur and habitat destruction.
