Currently the Ocelot has thick yellow fur and limber bodies. They also have narrow jaws. Ocelots like to spend time in the water, unlike most other cats in the wild. They currently live in semi-arid climate and spend time around dense thorny shrubs. But in the future, due to the scorching hot climate, the polar ice caps will melt leading to rising ocean levels. The ocelot would have to get used to swimming through salt water. The ocelot would have longer fangs/claws so it can hunt and protect itself. It would have stronger legs so it can jump into high places and swim through the dirty water because of pollution/trash. Ocelots would be more nocturnal because of the rising daytime heat. They will have bigger ears and thinner fur to cool down its body and longer whiskers so it is able to navigate through its environment better.
