Margay Cat Leaping Night Ridge Queretaro in on a wind-scoured ridge near Santiago de Querétaro

Margay Cat Leaping Night Ridge Queretaro

by Millie Manning

Pale moonlight slices across a wind-scoured ridge near Santiago de Querétaro, illuminating a margay cat suspended in mid-air. The feline's spotted coat glows white where the beam strikes, contrasting against the deep violet shadows of the midsummer night. Below, dry scrub and jagged rocks define the terrain, while distant hills fade into darkness. The cat's muscles tense, paws reaching for a gnarled branch that juts from the slope. Dust particles hang in the light, caught in the sudden motion of the leap. A final tuft of fur catches the edge of the beam as the body arcs forward.
