Margay is a small wild cat found in Central and South America. One synonym for margay is tigrillo, which is commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries. Other synonyms include tree ocelot and girl of the forests. Though the margay is similar in appearance to the ocelot, it is smaller in size and has a longer tail. Another synonym that describes the margay's tail is "ring-tailed cat." In some languages, such as Guarani, the margay is called "yaguarete-pequeño," which means "little jaguar." Despite its size, the margay is an adept hunter and climber, which has earned it the nickname "acrobatic cat."".
