They have a litter of 1 - 2 kittens, which open their eyes when they are 2 weeks old and are weaned for about 2 months. Females reach sexual maturity when they are about 6 - 10 months old. The average Margay lives for about 20 years in captivity, but the Margay's life span is unknown in the wild. The Margay lives in the Amazon, Uruguay, Belize and Brazil. The Margay used to live in Texas, but sadly it was hunted to extinction there.
Margays live in forests, both deciduous and evergreen.
It also enjoys rain forests. Hunters kill 14,000 Margays per year for their pelts. Another big problem is the destroying of forests through logging and farming. Margays can only have at Maximum 2 kitens in a litter and they can only have one litter every 2 years. Sadly, chances that they will survive much longer in the wild or in captivity are really, really bad.
