How many ocelots were there in the 1900s?

Answer 1

Certainly in the many thousands, as ocelots have never been on endangered lists.

Answer 2

It is challenging to determine the exact number of ocelots in the 1900s due to limited historical records. However, ocelot populations were significantly affected by habitat loss, hunting, and the exotic pet trade during that time, leading to a decline in their numbers. Conservation efforts have since been implemented to protect ocelots and their habitats.
