Ocelots
Ocelots, also known as dwarf leopards, are native to the dense forests and undergrowth of extreme southern Texas, Mexico and much of both Central and South America. These cats, which are found in the genus Leopardus along with eight other small cats, are nocturnal hunters and fiercely territorial. Once considered Vulnerable because of the demand for their fur, they are now considered Least Concern by the IUCN.

In what parts of the world can an ocelot be found?
go to exoticcatz.com or similar website to make sure that is really something you are ready to commit to first. that said, the ocelot is considered by most to be the best exotic cat for a pet. as long as you dont allow them to breed, however, they will be VERY clingy and they live for ~20 years so make sure you are ready for that kind of commitment and good luck.

How did the ocelot go on the endangered speces?
It did because people poach them for their fur. Ocelot fur is unique because no two ocelots have the same coat. Another big reason is deforestation and habitat destruction.
Is anything being done to prevent ocelot from becoming extinct?
Today, the remaining few ocelots in the United States live in the thorny scrublands of south Texas, with a small number also barely hanging on in Mexico. Farms, ranches and suburban sprawl have chipped away ocelot habitat to almost nothing, leaving the surviving cats - and many other endangered creatures - stranded on a handful of private lands. Partnering with these landowners, and their neighbors, is critical to the ocelot's survival. Enter the Safe Harbor program. Safe Harbor is a smart, collaborative approach pioneered by Environmental Defense that brings together state and federal government officials - including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - with farmers, ranchers and other private landowners. In exchange for restoring habitat for the ocelot, landowners receive assurances that their restoration efforts will not subject their land to additional government regulation. Everyone wins- large new blocks of ocelot habitat are created and landowners are rewarded with various incentives. Environmental Defense is working with farmers and ranchers to restore native thornscrub by planting seedlings, the first step in ocelot recovery efforts. The near-term goal is to bring back about 5,000 acres of native vegetation so surviving cats have new habitat to raise future generations, offering new hope for ocelots. We have restored 800 acres so far, but there is still much more to be done. Your support for our ocelot recovery efforts will give further momentum to this creative, cooperative approach to wildlife conservation.

Are ocelots legal to have as pets?
No. Ocelots are not pets and cannot ever be pets really, because they are wild animals.
They look like normal cats but aren't. You can keep them as pets like Salvador Dali did but to be honest, I wouldn't.
What type of food do ocelots eat and how much food can a average ocelot eat in a day?
Being nocturnal, ocelots hunt at night. Because they swim well, they will often hunt for fish. As occasional climbers, they will catch birds. Small rodents, rabbits, opossum and iguanas are also a main source of prey. The female ocelot's range is about 1 1/2 miles, while the male's can be up to 11 miles.
Ocelots are nocturnal carnivores that can catch an average of 1 prey every 3.1 hours of travel. Ocelots are from the cat family which make s them meat hunters, they eat rodents, snakes and many more. By Akwon98

What water should you use on sea animal stings?
Seawater
Most marine animal venoms, like that of jellyfish or the barbs of poisonous fish, are alkaline in pH, so a mild acid like a vinegar solution has some neutralizing effect. Use copious amounts of it until the wound is clean, then apply an antibiotic ointment and sterile dressing.
The ocelot does not avoid water, and they are quite adept swimmers.

While ocelots are wild cats and can be dangerous due to their sharp claws and teeth, they typically do not pose a significant threat to humans. Attacks on people are extremely rare, as ocelots tend to avoid human contact. However, like any wild animal, they can defend themselves if threatened. Overall, the likelihood of an ocelot killing a human is very low.
