Ocelots are hunted primarily for their beautiful, patterned fur, which is highly valued in the fashion industry. Their pelts are often used to make luxury items like coats and accessories, driving demand in markets that prioritize exotic materials. Overhunting, combined with habitat loss, has greatly threatened their populations, prompting conservation efforts to protect these wild cats from further exploitation.
