Twenty-four hour activity budget and scent-marking behaviours of captive margays (Leopardus wiedii) in naturalistic enclosures, Belize
I present the first study of the twenty-four hour activity budget and scent-marking repertoire of margay. My results indicate that the sexes had remarkably similar activity budgets with the following exceptions: males (i) spent considerably more time roaming and (ii) sprayed more frequently than females, which fits the observation that males have larger territories than […]

Faecal glucocorticoid level is not correlated with stereotypic pacing in two captive margays (Leopardus wiedii)
The ‘coping hypothesis’ of stereotypic behaviour — that stereotypies are performed as a means of helping the animal to cope with its environment by reducing stress — was tested using two adult female margays (Leopardus wiedii), an endangered neotropical small cat species. Within-individual and between-individual comparisons of the duration of stereotypic pacing and glucocorticoid concentration, […]
