Description
The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis; /ˈɒsəlɒt/), is a wild cat distributed extensively within South America, including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas, although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.
Its fur was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were killed for their fur, causing a marked decline in the species' numbers. The cat was listed as Vulnerable from 1972 until 1996 and is now listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List (Wikipedia).
Original donated to the Akron Zoo.
