That's not kitty cat! (Ocelots)

Hey people! Today this post is about Ocelots!
Now Ocelots, I suppose are not so much talked about, but that is why I am posting this! _________________________________________________________________________________________ Body/Anatomy: Ocelots have has sleek, smooth fur, rounded ears and large front paws. The coat (fur) pattern of ocelots can vary, being anything from cream to reddish-brown in color, or sometimes grayish, and marked with black rosettes. Rosettes are like the spots you see on leopards
Ocelots are short furred, and has two black stripes on both sides of the face, and the long tail has stripes of black. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ More of Ocelots: The ocelot is mostly nocturnal (active at night) and territorial (protective of it's part of it's land). If another Ocelot goes into another Ocelot's terrtitory (land) the ocelot that owns the land will fight the intruder really hard! ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Ocelot hunting: Ocelots tend to hunt mostly small animals, like mammals(mice,rabbits), lizards, turtles, and frogs, crabs, birds, and fish. Almost all of the prey that the ocelot hunts is smaller than itself. Ocelots also has very good vision, including night vision (seeing well in the dark). ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Where do Ocelots live?: Ocelots live in mainly South america,and they are found in tropical forest, mangrove swamps and savannas. __________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope you learned a lot about Ocelots!
