Ocelots are medium-sized cats that live in rain forests and grasslands from South and Central America to the southwestern USA. These fast hunters eat small mammals, birds, fish and snakes. They are also very good swimmers.
These graceful cats grow to be about 2-3 ft (65-100 cm) long (excluding the tail); the tail is up to 1.5 ft (50 cm) long. Ocelots generally hunt on the ground, but will also hunt in trees, preying upon monkeys and birds. They are mostly nocturnal (more active at night).
