The Ocelot: Present and Future

Ocelots are wild cats around twice the size of house cats that live in rain forests. They have good eyesight and hearing since they are nocturnal, and hunt during the night. In the future, their habitats will decrease and change due to deforestation and climate change, most likely leading to a swampy and grassy environment. I think that in the future, ocelots will have darker fur and less spots to blend into their new environment. They will also have different teeth, more suitable to omnivores than their current carnivore teeth. As their habitat changes, so will the life around them. There may be less food available to them, so they will have to adapt their teeth to be able to eat anything they can.
