Ocelots have pointed fangs which they use to deliver a killing bite. They have sharp scissor-like back teeth that can tear food, but are not appropriate for chewing. So, they swallow their food after tearing it down. An ocelot is a largely nocturnal spotted cat adapted to eating meat. It is twice the size of an average house cat. It feeds on rabbits, rodents, iguanas, fish, and frogs.
Populations of ocelot are found in lowland areas of the Americas from Texas to northern Argentina. Ocelots are also found in tropical forests, grasslands, or bush-covered regions.
Ocelots are largely terrestrial, but they are good climbers and often occupy treetops. The ocelot population is declining globally. Margays and oncillas closely resemble ocelots in general appearance and range. Ocelots however, are larger. Also, their tails are shorter than their hind legs.
