8. Margays trick their prey in such a mean way.
There are not many sounds in this world that are cuter than the sounds that a baby makes. While humans are probably most moved by the coos made by human babies, we can still appreciate the cute noises made by other baby species, including baby monkeys. You are probably imitating the sounds in your head right now! But one thing that is definitely not cute is when a margay is actually making these distinctive sounds (via Ranker).
A margay is a jungle cat native to South and Central America (via Wiki). They imitate the cries of baby monkeys to lure the baby’s parents out to be eaten alive. And while the sound these cats make may sound cute, they certainly do not have an adorable outcome… While the imitation is said to be poor, it’s still enough to get the attention and interest of an adult monkey’s curiosity and concern. Researchers believe that margays pass this technique onto their offspring, making it a learned behavior.
