- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Ocelots are wild cats native to Central and South America who may also appear on rare occasion in the southern most parts of North America, though in the past their range extended further into the United States. Ocelots can't roar and are generally considered "small cats" even though they can more than double domestic cats in size (at least the males can)! Ocelots hunt rodents, reptiles, and even fish! They may have up to three kittens in a litter, and on average live up to a decade in the wild.
Scientific Name: Leopardus pardalis
Range: South and Central America (limited areas in North America)
Diet: rats, iguanas, agoutis, opossums, armadillos, anteaters, deer, monkeys, tortoises, birds, fish, and crustaceans
Size: Males up to 35 pounds (16kg); females half this size
Life Span: Up to a decade in the wild

Revolver Ocelot bought me here.
Really the only reason you need to be here
I'm a ocelot
@@AnimalFactFiles I love I love awesome. They're my favorite animal
Such an adorable kitty!
Just an FYI, this is not the same creature as the Ocicat. That's a type of domestic cat that just happens to look like an ocelot in markings and color scheme!
Archer brought me here.... Well Babou actually
Gorgeous cat.
Did you know that ocelots are proud creatures? 😉
Nope yhey sre purroud 😊😊🐆🐆🐆🐆
I'm so proud of the MGSIII reference holy shit
When I was growing up our family had a home-owned Western Auto(mainly hardware and appliances) Store. We had a customer that used to have one and he would bring it in on a chain. I looked like a miniature leopard and was always well behaved. No one seemed to have a problem or be afraid of it. It was always interesting when he brought it in and it attracted a lot of attention, almost always positive.
Wow that's crazy!
I sure love cats. Thanks for the video!
Loving cats sometimes feels like a prerequisite for watching this channel with all the Chester references. xDD
Ocelot
I’m doing a project about ocelots this is perfect 👌
Glad it helped! Good luck on your project!

Ocelots are also known to be triple agents, expert interrogators, speak Russian & a fan of spaghetti westerns.
And let's not forget that they infiltrate human settlements disguised as ordinary cats and try to get info on the efforts to conserve the ocelots of the world!
Nice video, great info - beautiful cats! Thanks 👍👍👍
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed it! =)
In Brazil we call jaguatirica and the gato marajá is another kind of cat
I came here cos I had a dream where a got a free ocelot in summer camp. When we entered a random room, he was gone.

*pours one out*
Ocelot`s can be found anywhere but Chile stated from to article Live Science!
BABOU!!
im proud that i can undertand the Metal Gear reference but also the Archer reference xD
Are these legal to own as pets?
Not me thinking in about 10 more years I’ll be able to move out of my moms house and go to Wisconsin the closest area that allows servals and ocelots and get them lol also fun fact: ocelots in captivity can live up to 20 YEARS!!!
What are some unique features of the ocelot? Whether that be structure and/or function
I was just watching an mgs video so that intro was dope
Pardel cats? No imposter cats
i LOVED IT
Fat paw that is it’s nickname or maybe chubby paw
I like both of those! Chonky paw is a good alternative, too. xDD
Animal Fact Files thanks
Chester looks just like my boy except mine has orange eyes and he’s huge (John Paul Jones)
If we let Chester eat as much as he wanted he'd be a chonker for sure. xDDDD You guy sounds lovely!!! Love the orange eyes. =)
Animal Fact Files Oh mine isn’t fat he’s just very physically large and muscular, looks like a white panther lol. Ur cat is so cute. :)
Oooh!!! I misunderstood!! A white panther sounds awesome. 😄😄
It's Babou

Nays !!!
Can. U. Do. Cheetahs. Plz
Here's a link to our cheetah episode: ua-cam.com/video/o8BZZojAct8/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
A small female ocelot weights 18lb and a large male cat is 12lb so ocelots are always much bigger
After working in a cat hospital for seven years I can ABSOLUTELY confirm that 12 pounds for a male cat is nowhere NEAR as big as they can get.

Das Me!
I hope cub petting operations don't start using ocelots now that President Biden has signed the law against use of big cats for that purpose!

It is beyond me how anyone could shoot one of these beauties for their fur.
there should be a ocelot fur farm then those in the wild wouldn't be hunted that much
I'm going to say something controversial but I'm going to say it anyway when God said that man shall have domion over the animals I think what that actually means is that man shall protect the animals and the environment and treat the animals with respect and not harm them however I think also what that means is that man shall only kill animals for food and kill them to control the population but not kill them for sport and hunt them to extinction but I do think that people try to use the saying that man shall have domion over animals use that as an excuse to torture animals and kill them for they're body parts or for sport I'm looking at you two faced Chinese government and so called Republicans real men yeah right who have this attitude of like why should I care about the environment and stupid dumb animals and smoke big cigars hahaha yeah I'm real man by killing helpless animals😠😠😞😤 I rest my case I love the ocelots by the way they're beautiful ♥️♥️🤗
Where can I get real ocelot coat
