Ocelot in AZ?!

Re: Ocelot in AZ?!

Do people keep endangered species a pets?

AZGFD gave this one room to escape and didn't touch it or do anything to track it so I don't think we'll find out anything more about it unless it turns up again somewhere. (Perhaps at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve? :STP: )

But the picture is great. I'm not really a fan of domesticated cats, but this little creature looks super cuddly and cute. I'm guessing that Kai wouldn't really appreciate a new sibling though!

What, they didn't try to tag it and then put it down for kidney disease?

Were there feathers in the scat they collected? Did it poop in the neighbor's sandbox? :sl:

Oh, boy. I bet AZGFD sure hopes that debacle gets forgotten quickly.

A trail camera in the Huachuca Mountains caught a photo of an ocelot on May 26, making it the second confirmed Arizona sighting of the rare wild cat in 2011...
