Ocelot


We just learned about the Lynx.

Another type of wild cat is the Ocelot.

This is a smaller type of cat, only about 30 pounds and 2 feet tall.
It has spots and stripes on it's body, and rounded ears.

These cats are usually awake at night, and stay by themselves.
They are very good at climbing, jumping and swimming.

Ocelots live mostly in South America and Mexico, in forests and near lots of water.
Because they are so small, these cats have sometimes been kept as pets.
