The Ocelot

The ocelot is a small wild cat native to the Americas, making its home in various environments such as shrublands and marshes. You can spot an ocelot by its shiny, tawny coat adorned with striking black marks, almost like a small leopard! This mini feline is nocturnal, preferring to hunt and move around when the moon is up. They are excellent swimmers and climbers, using their razor-sharp claws not only to catch snacking rodents but also to dart up trees or paddle through rivers in search of adventure!

Fun Fact: Here's a term to impress your teacher - ocelots are "solitary" animals, meaning they prefer to live and hunt alone, unless of course, it's a mother with her adorable kittens.
