What are facts about the ocelot?

Answer 1

Ocelots are one of the many endangered species found in Texas. Ocelots are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and hunt during the night. I find it interesting that they spend their day resting in extremely thick brush that humans would have to crawl to get through. An Ocelot's living area is about 1to 4 square miles. The kittens living den is made by a female in thick brush. The Ocelot kitten's mother stays with them during the day but leaves them and goes off to hunt at night. As soon as 3 months of age the baby Ocelots begin to hunt with their mother. Young Ocelots usually stay with there mother until they are about a year old, then they go off to live on their own.

the ocelot is about 3 to 4 feet in length
The Ocelot is found in Mexico and in Central and South America. Ocelots are solitary and are very territorial. Ocelots are carnivores.
