Ocelots' Reproduction


To the right, you can see a baby Ocelot. Isn't it adorable? I think so :]]

ANYWAYYY, the usual time that Ocelots are born is during the months of September, October, and November. Their gestation period is about 70-90 days and the average kittens that an Ocelot has is about 1 or 2. The kittens are born once every two years and their growth rate is very slow compared to other animals. The Ocelot kittens remain with the mother for a few weeks, and once it becomes a few months older, they are off to hunt with Mama Ocelot. After months have passed, the Ocelot is now ready and abandons its mother to live on it's own ):
