Go to the ocelot page on the Cat Specialist Group website http://www.catsg.org/index.php?id=88 and scroll down until you see the last line of text which says References.

I see you mentioned there is a Reference section to expand at the end of the article, but I do not see one. Is it now missing or is the website not optimized for Google Chrome? Thanks for any information!

All of our website information comes from the IUCN Cat Specialist Group and you can find their ocelot info here – http://www.catsg.org/index.php?id=88

At the bottom of this page it shows References. Click on that word and it will show all 204 references used to write the ocelot fact sheet. There should be many excellent references for you in that list!

Hi, thank you for your excellent post! We are now working to stop the fur smuggle in Bolivia. Would you mind telling me the resource of the information that “From the early 1960’s to the 80’s the Ocelot population declined heavily due to the extensive fur trade. In this time period more than 566,000 ocelot pelts were officially sold”?

For those who would like to help out in the conservation efforts for the ocelots in South Texas, where they are mostly found but in low numbers, is to add Friends of Laguna Atascosa Wildlife Refuge to your charity on Amazon shopping. Every time you purchase a small amount will go to this wildlife refuge that works to conserve the ocelot population. You can also go to their website and buy products or donate. You may also want to add them to your social media accounts.

I am seeking grant money ($10,000) to fund the building of a large, safe enclosure for 4 ocelots who were destined for euthanasia but have now been rescued. The ocelots are being temporarily housed in a monkey sanctuary in Puyo, Ecuador. A Swiss-Ecuadorian non-profit organization owns the land and runs the sanctuary on a very small budget and is supported by volunteer work and donations obtained through their education programs. However the enclosure for monkeys and ocelots is quite different! Any advice or assistance that you can offer to help them raise the needed funds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

In reply to JOEY. No one knows how many ocelots are in the world in any year. They range from southern USA to South America and would be impossible to count.
