Ocelots Journal (three)

I feel that Ocelots are a very beautiful and elegant animal. The ocelots are twice the size of an average cat. They are nocturnal and have a keen sight and hearing.Unlike normal cats instead of hating to gonear water,they are excellent swimmers.

Like any other cats,they eat meat.. They have pointed fangs used to deliver a killing bite, and sharp back teeth that can tear food like scissors. Ocelots do not have teeth appropriate for chewing, so they tear their food to pieces and swallow it whole. Their raspy tongues can clean a bone of every last tasty morsel. I think that it will be extremely hard for us to just swallow our food just 1 mouthful. We might even choke.

Ocelots are a protected species in united states and other places which they live. They are being traded illegally.

With their fine skin and cute appearance, Ocelots make a very popular house pets, but I think that Ocelots have a wild nature and should be free to roam the wild not being locked in a house. They should be in the wild hunting for food and running around, instead of being fed with whatever food we give them. If people continue to do this the Ocelots might lose their hunting nature and stated relying on humans to feed them.

Further more with such a cute appearance don't you think that they should be more of them in the wild for people to admire,instead of being admire by just the owner who have them as pets.
