No one knows the exact figure, but ocelots are not endangered, listed as a species of least concern.
Estimating the exact number of individual ocelots in the wild is challenging due to their elusive nature and wide distribution across various habitats in the Americas. Current estimates suggest that there are around 800,000 ocelots remaining in the wild, but these numbers can vary significantly based on region and habitat quality. Conservation efforts are crucial to protecting their populations, as they face threats from habitat destruction and poaching. Ocelots are classified as "Least Concern" by the IUCN, but certain populations are more vulnerable.
Ocelots typically live for about 10-13 years in the wild, but can live up to 20 years in captivity. Various factors such as habitat degradation, hunting, and diseases can impact their lifespan in the wild.
There have been no documented cases of ocelots killing humans. Ocelots are considered to be shy and elusive animals that typically avoid confrontations with people. However, like any wild animal, they may attack if threatened or cornered.
Ocelot cubs are wild animals that are typically illegal to own as pets in many places. Additionally, buying or selling wild animals can contribute to illegal wildlife trafficking and exploitation. It is important to respect and protect the natural habitats of ocelots and leave them in the wild.
No data is available on exact numbers, but is still common over much of its range.

Yes, ocelots are wild cats found inn central and South America.
Jaguars and ocelots
No figures exist for the current numbers, but it is safe to say they are not as common as they once were. The species is doing well at the moment, still common overall.
they can live up to ten years in the wild and more in captivity

Ocelots are not easily found as they are elusive and primarily nocturnal, making them difficult to spot in the wild. They inhabit a range of environments, including rainforests, savannas, and grasslands, but their populations are fragmented due to habitat loss and human activity. While they can be found in parts of Central and South America, as well as southern Texas in the U.S., their numbers are declining, making sightings increasingly rare. Conservation efforts are crucial to their survival in the wild.
