What type of animal is an ocelot?
"chipmunks. Bobcat urine repels moles, mice, voles and other rodents. Wolf urine is used to repel moose. Used cat litter is also effective, but needs repeated application. Chemical repellents mimic natural substances that repel or deter animals, or they are designed to be so irritating to a specific animal or type of animal that the targeted animal will avoid the protected object or area. Some chemical repellents combine both principles. There are many homemade deer repellent recipes on the web. For example, the lawn fertilizer Milorganite is claimed to be an effective repellent due to its smell. Repellents fall into"
"Ocicat The Ocicat is an all-domestic breed of cat which resembles a wild cat but has no wild DNA in its gene pool. The breed is unusual in that it is spotted like a wild cat but has the temperament of a domestic animal. It is named for its resemblance to the Ocelot. The breed was established from Siamese and Abyssinian stock; later, American Shorthairs (silver tabbies) were added to the mix and gave the breed their silver color, bone structure and distinct markings. The first breeder of Ocicats was Virginia Daly, of Berkley, Michigan, who attempted to breed an"

Results indicate that the island holds an ocelot density of , the highest one recorded to date. This is probably an effect of high prey availability, few large predators, and increased protection from poaching. Ocelots are carnivores and prey on small mammals, such as armadillos, opossums and rabbits, rodents, small birds, fish, insects and"
