"Ocelot" (Leopardus pardalis) is an English equivalent of the "hei-tigrikati" of Suriname.
Specifically, the prefix "hei" refers to the aguti (Dasyprocta spp), which is the ocelot's favorite prey. The aguti is a guinea-pig like rodent of Middle America, northern South America, and the West Indies. It is a very fast runner so ocelots always have a workout on their paws when it comes down to chasing their preferred snack of the day.
