Description
The ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) is among the most widespread feline species in the world and one of the six species of felines occurring in Mexico. This spotted cat has been listed in Appendix I of the CITES since 1990 (CITES, http://www.cites.org) and is considered to be endangered in Mexico (Secretarfa de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, 2002). Currently, ocelots occur from southern Texas through Mexico and Central America (Hall, 1981; Vaughan, 1983), in the lowlands of southern Colombia, and in every South American country except Chile (Murray and Garner, 1997; Tewes and Schmidly, 1999). The ocelot occupies a variety of habitats, including humid tropical forests, subtropical forests, swampy savannas (Koford, 1973; Guggisberg, 1975), estuarine mangroves (Koford, 1973; Vaughan, 1983), dense thorny chaparral (Tewes and Schmidly, 1999), dense forests, secondary forests, swamp forests, scrub, (Vaughan, 1983), tropical dry thorny forests, and gallery forests (Mondolfi, 1982). Despite this diversity of habitats, ocelots are not habitat generalists. Instead, their movements indicate a strong association with areas of dense vegetation or forests (Murray and Gardner, 1997). In Mexico, ocelots are distributed along the tropical coastal plains and foothills from Sonora and Tamaulipas southward to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, thence eastward through Chiapas and the Yucatan Peninsula. Ocelots are more frequent in tropical areas, including dense rainy forests and tropical deciduous forests, and they do not occur regularly in tropical arid areas (Leopold, 1959).
