An ocelot's fur is covered in spots, stripes and blobby shapes.
Its pretty pattern and colours help the ocelot hide in the forest.
Ocelots hunt on the ground and in the trees.
Each ocelot has a different fur pattern.
An ocelot is about twice the size of a house cat.
Ocelots are nocturnal. This means they are active at night.
They can run down trees headfirst, like a squirrel.
The fur also hides the ocelot from hungry animals when it's time for a nap. It curls up and blends in on a comfy branch.
Ocelot kittens are born with spots, but their fur is grey at first.
The fur helps them blend in with trees, the ground and shadows. That makes it easier for them to sneak up on food.…
