Ocelot
Leopardus pardalis 
Makushi name: Woronai 
Size: body=75 cm; tail=35 cm; weight=10 kg 
Description: Medium-sized spotted cat. Much smaller and less stocky in build than Jaguar, with spots tending to form rows. This is the largest of the three smaller spotted cats (the others are Margay and Oncilla), all of which can be difficult to distinguish in the field. Of the three, the Ocelot is the heaviest in build, and its relatively narrow tail is only as long as the hind legs (would not drag on the ground if held down). Eyes yellowish, medium sized; muzzle relatively long. Eyeshine is bright yellow. 
Activity: Mainly nocturnal, but can be active on overcast days or at dusk. Chiefly terrestrial but climbs well; swims occasionally. 
Habits: Usually solitary, this cat travels several kilometres each night. It is sometimes seen from a boat at the edge of a forested creek or river at night. During the day it may climb trees to rest on branches, or den among buttresses, in culverts, or under treefalls. It eats small terrestrial mammals, iguanas, land crabs, and birds, and may take turtles or fish. It is seldom heard in the wild and it moves silently. 
Habitat: All forest types and disturbed areas with adequate cover. 
Signs: Tracks of this species are more often encountered than those of the other small spotted cats; unlike other cats, the front tracks are noticeably broader than hind tracks (front about 60 mm, hind 50 mm, in adults). 
Status: Locally common. Listed on CITES Appendix I.
