- In February 2011 an ocelot was photographed in the Huachuca Mountains of southern Arizona. It was only the 3rd confirmed ocelot sighting in Arizona in the last 50 years. Arizona Game and Fish wildlife manager Brad Fulk was able to also take video of this rare and beautiful animal.
What a beautiful cat! I think these ocelots deserve our protection.
wish I had the chance to see one when I lived in Arizona but I was in N Phoenix so too far north. I have seen mountain lions around dynamite and Tatum, that was awesome.
Wheelbarrow Tim a.k.a. babylegs O'hurlahan they have a wild jaguar living in tucan arizona.they said there's like 3 wild jaguar that live in Arizona
Hey i actually saw one on tatum and carefree at terravida community im a landscaper there and i saw it cross my path 5 ft out from me was super cool didnt know what i was looking at until i looked it up !
I, too, think it is not an ocelot. I had an acquaintance in texas who had an ocelot and it was less cobby and more slender. I don't know why this guy had it. It really scratched the heck out of
me and I had to leave. Somebody below said they thought it was a Margay. I'm not sure what those look like, but I'd say this one was too. How has the border wall affected the migration of young males and therefore the species between Mexico and Arizona? We used to have jaguars in California, but they are now extinct in our state.
What a beautiful animal. I fear that we will lose animals like the Jaguar and Ocelot in our deserts and grasslands of Arizona if the border wall is built.
It is a beautiful animal, a beautiful wild Cat. You are lucky to have such beautiful wildlife.

What's more important to you, Bart? Stemming the tide of illegal immigrants AND MSLM terrorists or saving an inconsequential species??
Note: I'm a nature lover but I love my country even more.
@@joseftrumpeldor6240 the cats the wall wouldn't work anyway I'm pretty sure the people of Mexico have discovered ladders as well as tunnels just like us Americans
SecretAgentBartFargo they’d have to capture wild ones in Mexico and release them into Arizona to keep the genes strong
Josef Trumpeldor: Being a nature lover, you have so many things wrong with what you said. I don’t believe you are a true nature lover if you wouldn’t want some new animals popping up on their own without being stopped. I would love to just see bobcats around our area.
It looks more like a Margay. The ocelot is more robust, more heavily built, less of a kitty face. A more surprising find, I think the Margay has a more limited distribution.
Tom, awesome show! Wish I could have been there! On my behalf, thank the AZ Game and Fish for sharing.
Okay, that’s not an ocelot. That’s a similar cat that we have here in Arizona as well. It’s called a Margay, they have a rounder face and body then the slender ocelot, they also have smaller eyes compared to the ocelot who had large eyes. I am a native here and I’ve seen both and I can say that is certainly a Margay and not an Ocelot
That is not an ocelot? You say 'tis a margay?
Bruce Kramer yea there’s a difference, we have both here in Arizona and ik an ocelot when I see one lol
We have a small population of ocelot at the Laguna Atascosa wildlife reserve in south Texas, and I have to agree this is definitely not an ocelot. It just look more plump and furry , plus the shape of its head is less pointy than the ocelot in south Texas.
Mistah2 yea, I’m almost certain it’s a margay
@@brittanyfogarty2198 ocelot ears are a bit different too. Just a slight difference. I believe you are correct
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
What a rare sight!
ocelot are the best animal in the world
From Mexico with love
Gorgeous animal !.😃
So glad to see these cats are still here in AZ.
Just wanted all y'all to know that it's actually a margay. Super similar but not the same
I saw one in Fountain Hills Az
sinned2080 seriously? Wow that would be cool! I saw a bobcat in fountain hills. I wonder who would win outta the 2
wanderlei silva they are actually probably equally matched, although I think the ocelot can grow slightly larger. They would never fight because they can smell each other and avoid. If they fight it wouldn’t be to the death because they know they would cause horrible injury to one another.
I used to live in Sierra Vista, AZ how cool!!
Any Jaguarundi sightings in the U.S.?
The last one seen in Texas, was in 1986. I n 2014, there were plans to bring some in from Mexico, but I don't know whether it ever happened.
niceeee....thnx for the clip
ocelot are the best animal
+Arizona GameAndFish - Glad you're no the job, love these animals! Just curious, apparently AZ does not tag these animals. This surprises me, mainly for reliable ID of individuals, and access to and mgt of data about their range.
Nice
Margay ?
WOW. Cute ☺️
No matter what it really was just hope it continues to survive..we humans are so good at “protecting” but then driving these amazing and beautiful creatures to the brink of extinction..🙂
Keep planting trees
Go green
Don't put food in the trash put it on the earth amen
The animal looks sort of fat. Could it have been an escaped captive animal?
Its a margay
i'm not going down there, there's a jaguar out there.
Wild life manger "What u have: osalot treed no don't call dogs back keep him treed as long as it takes me to get their. hold the dogs on him ill be their few hours don't move back and let it go about its day. hold him with the dogs haha.
That ocelot is a pest and keeps on mating with house cats.
What l want to know,could that pussycat have whipped that dog,if cornered?
Not an ocelot
........is ocelot a fancy way of saying cat in a tree ???
Are these males trying to smash the local house cats
Beautiful animal, but not an ocelot.
