Ocelot’s are part of the Felidae family. They weigh 8-15kg and are 40-50 cm between the shoulders. Their scientific name is Leopardus pardalis.
They live in the South American rain forests but are sometimes found as far as Texas. Ocelots can live in human habitats and are sometimes found in villages or southern towns.
Ocelots can be very aggressive when they are fighting for their territory but calm down when it’s mating season. They are kind towards their offspring.
Ocelots hunt rabbits, rats , mice, iguanas, fish, and frogs. They don’t avoid the water and they like to swim. They are very dangerous but don’t hurt humans. They aren’t very good as house pets because they will wreck the house.
Ocelots are very cute and I think that I would like to see them but only at a zoo because they are wild cats.
What is your favourite animal and why?
