Ocelot (lat. Leopardus pardalis) - one of the most prominent representatives of the cat family and at the same time - one of the least studied. The Latin name of this mysterious predator means "like a leopard", but where the ocelot lives - in Latin America and southern North Texas - leopards are not found. And the word "ocelot" is likely to Aztec roots and comes from «tlacelot», ie "field tiger."
