I’ve mentioned my fondness for the small to medium-sized cats of Latin America on many occasions so I’ll try not to repeat myself on that subject. Fortunately this image expresses that affection better than any words I could muster. The Ocelot remains a species in a state of flux. The grotesque slaughter of these cats during the 1970s and 80s has thankfully abated but they still face serious danger due to habitat destruction. Fortunately they remain popular in zoos worldwide and their presence reminds us never to complacent over their protection in the future.
