OCELOT
The ocelot (scientific name: Leopardus pardalis) is a wild cat a bit larger than a giant housecat. Ocelots live in rainforests and other habitats in South and Central America. Ocelots can be found as far north as Texas in the United States.
Ocelots are active at night (nocturnal) and hunt small monkeys, snakes, rodents and birds.
The Mongabay Kids site (kids.mongabay.com) aims to help children learn about rainforests and the environment. This site is still under development and I am working to add additional content as time permits. If you have comments or are interested in submitting educational content for the site, please feel free to contact me.
The site is available in many different languages, including Portuguese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Japanese, and German.
