Ocelot

Leopardus pardalis

Overview

Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Tortuguero are among the six atlas places where the Ocelot is recorded. Its records concentrate in Ecuador, French Guiana, Colombia, Mexico and the United States. The atlas holds 1,045 open records of this mammal across 14 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.

Because the Ocelot is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Ocelot as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
