What's The Ocelot?


Such a cute and cuddly animal right? So how could someone let it become endangered? Better yet, will people let it become extinct?

Other names? Painted Leopard, Tigrillo, and Felisa Pardalis :]

The Ocelot, or scientifically known as the Leopardus Pardalis, is animal that could be found in Mexico, South and Central America. These beautiful animals can weigh about 25 pounds and grow to be 5 feet. As you can see in the picture to the left, their body resembles a jaguar. The Ocelot's body can range from a yellowish to grey color and covered with black patches all over.
