[edit] Descending head first

The article on clouded leopard claims that species is the only one of the bigger cats capable of climbing down a tree trunk head first - that statement works with a similar capability for the margay, but saying the margay is the only cat capable of it doesn't work. // OlofE 03:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually I misrembered, clouded leopard article doesn't make any claim on being the only species in that way at all. Anyway. Margay article doesn't quite work. // OlofE 03:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We are doing a report

Talk pages are for discussing the improvement of the article. If we had the information you are seeking, don't you think it would already be in the article? - UtherSRG (talk) 01:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weighs HOW much?

The article says margays weigh 2-3kg... there's no way that can be right, a housecat is smaller and weighs much more than that. This information seems to come from http://www.abf90.dial.pipex.com/margay.htm. http://www.bigcatrescue.org/margay.htm gives a weight of 9-20 lbs (4-9 kg) which still seems on the low side but is far more believable than 2-3 kg. 67.175.151.78 04:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
