Margay - Colchester Zoo, Colchester, Essex, England - Monday May 12th 2008.
This could have been my best shot EVER...However..distance away from the subject and the dirty glass I took this shot through, did for this image..Oh..well, at least you can see what this image is...could have been a lot worse..I've only kept it because I loved the cat's reaction to seeing his reflection..lol..:O)))
The Margay (Leopardus wiedii) is a spotted cat native to Central and
South America. Named for Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, it is a
solitary and nocturnal animal that prefers remote sections of the
rainforest. Although it was once believed to be vulnerable to
extinction, the IUCN now lists it as "Least Concern".
It roams the rainforests from Mexico to Argentina.
Physical characteristics
The Margay can weigh about 3 to 9 kg (6.6–20 lbs), have a body length of 45 to 80 cm (18 to 32 in) and a tail length of 33 to 51 cm (13 to 20 in). It is very similar to the larger Ocelot, although the head is a bit shorter, the tail and legs are longer, and the spotted pattern on the tail is different. Most notably the Margay is a much more skillful climber than its relative, and it is sometimes called the Tree Ocelot because of this skill. Whereas the Ocelot mostly pursues prey on the ground, the Margay may spend its entire life in the trees, leaping after and chasing birds and monkeys through the treetops. Indeed, it is one of only two cat species with the ankle flexibility necessary to climb head first down trees (the other being the Clouded Leopard). Its ankles can turn up to 180 degrees, it can grasp branches equally well with its fore and hind paws, and it is able to jump considerable distances. The Margay has been observed to hang from branches with only one foot.
Diet
Because the Margay is naturally rare in its environment, most of its dietary studies were based on stomach contents and fecal analysis. This cat eats small mammals, birds, eggs, lizards and tree frogs. It may also eat grass and other vegetation, most likely to help digestion. A recent report about a Margay chasing squirrels in its natural environment confirmed that the Margay is able to hunt its prey entirely in trees.

Wow! This isn't bad at all as it is, but I could just imagine what it could have been too. Every photographer has a shot or two that got away, it is like telling how big the fish was that got away. :))
Nonetheless, given the state, it is just a superb capture. Well done.
You are my winner!
