So Johanna, Where Exactly Can They Be Found?


That is an excellent question fellow blogger =)

These Ocelots can be found in the USA, particularly in Arizona and Texas. Also they've been found in Central and South America. These animals prefer to live in dense areas. However, they can survive in various different regions so I wouldn't say there is a certain "requirement" to where they can live. "From dense thorn to mountainous regions and tropical forest" says the Earth's Endangered Creatures website( which you will see below listed in it's Proper APA Citation) ANYWAYYYY, these animals are usually found living on their own but have been discovered living with other Ocelots of the same gender. However, don't take their friendliness too seriously; they are very defensive animals and have shown to be territorial if someone has tried to trespass their home. Also, their diet consists of
rabbits, rodents, pacarana, pacas, agouti, young peccaries, monkeys, lesser anteater,iguanas, tree lizards, frogs, crabs, and small turtles.
