Cats Today (Many of Which Are Endangered)	Description
The Ocelot "Leopardus pardalis"	12 - 30 pounds, and up to 3 feet in length excluding the tail. Ocelots have a soft, creamy yellow pelt with black to brown rosettes often in lovely chain-like patterns. Due to its exceptionally beautiful coat, the ocelot has been hunted for its pelt almost to extinction.
