Rare Ocelot Kitten Born at Audubon Zoo in Louisiana: 'Mother and
Kitten Are Doing Great'
The Audubon Zoo in Louisiana welcomed a new member to their
animal family last month!
The New Orleans zoo recently announced the birth of a rare
ocelot kitten to parents Milagre and Joaquin on May 6, and
confirmed the mother and kitten "are doing great."
"He is eating like a champ," animal care team member Kylie Linke
said in a statement. "Milagre has been very accepting of us
weighing him and always is ready to carry him back into the den
when we're done. He's gone from around 200 grams at birth to now
weighing more than 700 grams in just three short weeks! We're
already seeing personality and he's just starting to zoom around
on his own.”
Milagre — which means “miracle’’ in Portuguese — and Joaquin
have been with the Audubon Zoo since they transferred from the
Dallas Zoo in 2017.
The new kitten’s birth is part of Audubon’s participation in the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for
Brazilian ocelots. The initiative's goal is to enhance the
conservation of this species in the wild and oversee population
management.
Ocelots were nearly driven to extinction in the 20th century by
hunters looking to profit off of their lustrous fur coat.
However, with regulatory measures, the species — which is native
to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South
America — has recovered and is no longer considered endangered.
Omg so cute

The ocelot (/ˈɒsəlɒt/; Leopardus pardalis)
is a small wild cat native to the southwestern United States,
Mexico, and Central and South America. This medium-sized cat is
characterized by solid black spots and streaks on its coat,
round ears, and white neck and undersides. It weighs between 8
and 15.5 kg (18 and 34 lb) and reaches 40–50 cm (15 1⁄2–19
1⁄2 in) at the shoulders. It was first described by Carl
Linnaeus in 1758. Two subspecies are recognized: L. p. pardalis
and L. p. mitis.
Typically active during twilight and at night, the ocelot tends
to be solitary and territorial. It is efficient at climbing,
leaping and swimming. It preys on small terrestrial mammals,
such as armadillo, opossum and lagomorphs. Both sexes become
sexually mature at around two years of age; they can breed
throughout the year, though the peak mating season varies
geographically. After a gestation period of two to three months,
the female gives birth to a litter of one to three kittens. They
stay with their mother for up to two years, after which they
leave to establish their own territories.
The ocelot prefers areas with dense vegetation cover, high prey
availability, and proximity to water sources. It is listed as
Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, and is threatened by habitat
destruction, hunting and traffic accidents. Populations are
decreasing in many parts of its range. The association of the
ocelot with humans dates back to the Aztec and Incan
civilizations; it has occasionally been owned as a pet.
