Learn About Ocelots

The Ocelot is no ordinary cat.

Measuring up to four feet long, ocelots are about twice the size and weight of ordinary house cats. Being nocturnal, ocelots hunt at night with varying techniques. Because they swim well, they will often hunt for fish. As occasional climbers, they will catch birds. Ocelots have been hunted since the ancient Aztec civilization. The highly prized, distinctive coat of the ocelot is an incentive to poachers.

Ocelots are believed to have lived as far north as Arkansas and as far west as California before the United States annexed areas of the Southwest. Today, ocelots live only in small pockets along the border. While they can still be found in much of their Latin American territory, their numbers are a fraction of what they once where.

Ocelots generally are about 18 inches tall at the shoulder, and about 4 foot in length, including their 13 to 15 inch tail.
Ocelots also vary their hunting behavior to take advantage of seasonal changes in prey abundance, such as spawning fish and land crabs in the wet season.
