A predator becoming extinct has an adverse effect on the ecosystem, because prey animals can over populate if there are not enough predators to keep their numbers in check. This has happened in the past several times, and sometimes the effects are horrible, such as plagues of mice, or the blue tongue deer epidemic of a few years ago. But, thankfully, the ocelot is in no danger at the moment, it is listed as a species of least concern by the IUCN Redlist.
