What is the steel?

Ocelot is a highly endangered breed of wild cats, with reach through South and Central America and parts of southern Texas. Ocelot usually weighs between £ 20 and £ 33, (10 to 15 kilograms) and is remarkable for a distinctive spotted black and golden pelt, similar to Leopard or Jaguar. In female Olots, pregnancy usually lasts about 70 days and results in two to four kittens. Ocelots, which will be carnivorous, will eat all types of small prey, including birds, monkeys, snakes and rodents. Ocelot has a very strong smell and will follow the prey of scents; It also has a very good night vision that makes it easier to monitor animals.

How far from the ancient Aztecs, Ocelot was awarded and hunted his hair. Before the United States in 1972 banned trade steel, more than 130,000 fur steelotes were imported every year and were used to produce rugs, fur, hats and other products.

Although there was an official trade withOcelots prohibited, the global steel population is still very at risk. Much of their reach was transformed into ranks and suburbs, which forces them to find new homes or starve. Many frees are also killed every year by cars. Today, scientists estimate that there are probably less than 100 wild Olotots in the United States. Pole is still the main threat to the existence of Ocelot. A fur coat Ocelot can be sold for $ 40,000 in the US or more, and many people keep living steel like pets for which they are willing to pay thousands of dollars.

Nature conservation organizations work to preserve land as a refuge for Ocelots; Preserve Laguna Atacosta works in southern Texas to ensure their further survival. The program called Brazilian Consortium Ocelot, which is based on ten zoos zoos, occupies Brazilian Olota and behaves in captivity and works to increase their population.
