The Ocelot is a marvelous animal. It lives in the tropical rainforest of central and South America (Amazon Rainforest). Food in the rainforests can vary so this creature has adapted its diet to suit many things such as small rodents(rats and mice), lizards, geckos, and amphibians, such as frogs. These mammals only eat twice a day to save energy. Like other cats, ocelots are adapted to eating meat. They have pointed fangs used to deliver a killing bite, and sharp back teeth that can tear food like scissors. These cats can adapt to human habitats and are sometimes found in the villages or other settlements. The appearance of the ocelot also helps it to suit its surroundings. Its fur is camouflaged to blend in with the rainforest ground and trees.
