*************

The ocelot (/'?s?l?t/; Leopardus pardalis), also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively over South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. It has been reported as far north as Texas.^[3][4] North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas,^[5] although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.^[6]

The ocelot is similar in appearance to a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a clouded leopard or jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were once killed for their fur. The feline was classified a ""vulnerable"" endangered species from 1972 until 1996, and is now rated ""least concern"" by the 2008 IUCN Red List.

The name ocelot comes from the Nahuatl word ocelotl (pronounced [o?'se?lo?t??]), which usually refers to the jaguar (Panthera onca) rather than the ocelot.^[7][8][9]
