I'd never heard of Dorothy Podber, thank you for that link... I see Taylor Mead pretty regularly, I'll have to pick his brain for cross reference if he knows or did know her.
But I will not be able to do anything at all until I am able to stop gazing into the eyes of that Margay, another beautiful creature I had never heard of, so thank you once again.
"...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 (including venomous snakes) 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). It can grasp branches equally well with its fore and hind paws, and is able to jump considerable distances. The Margay has been observed to hang from branches with only one foot."
I doubt they would be happy here, so I might have to move to South America to be nearer to them. I'd like to practice climbing head first down trees, that sounds like fun.
