The Ocelot

The ocelot is an amazing animal. Although they endure some changes in their habitat I will hope to show you how they will adapt. In the present, the ocelot is about four feet long with a yellow sandy brown coat with black spots and rosettes. They have several adaptations to adapt to their present habitat. This includes retractable claws; the retractability allows them to stay sharp. They eat fish, small rodents, iguanas, and occasionally birds when they climb trees. However, in the future, there will be fewer trees so they will need longer legs to catch birds. The forest will become darker so they will need a darker coat to blend in. The ocelot's tail will stay off the ground and they will take deep breaths so they can run faster to catch prey. Ocelots will need better hearing if there are increased pests.
