I've created this blog to not only talk about my interests in wild cat research but to also share other ongoing research on cats from around the world. I'll include Notes from the Field where I'll give some insights into the current research in South Texas on endangered ocelots. Also Cat Clips, where I'll pass along interesting news clips about other species of wild cats. If you've ended up here as a reader, I hope you find the posts interesting, educational and above all, topics that pique your interest about wild cat conservation.
The photo above is of a male ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) being released in Tamaulipas, Mexico. This ocelot was trapped and fitted with a VHF radio-collar. Radio-tracking will allow researchers to estimate home ranges, habitat use and other important ecology about these secretive felines.
