The Ocelot's unusual spotted fur helps it hide while hunting for prey. Their camouflage also helps hide them when they sleep in bushes or on tree branches during the day. 

Ocelots are prey for eagles, pumas, jaguars, and anacondas. 

Male Ocelots are named "torns," and female Ocelots are named "queens." A group of ocelots is a "clutter" or a "clowder." 

Ocelots are nocturnal and are most active at night. They use their hearing and keen vision to hunt rabbits, fish, iguanas, frogs, rodents, birds, and monkeys. 

Ocelots don't chew their food. Instead, they tear the meat into small pieces to swallow it whole. They sometimes remove their catch's fur and feathers before eating them. If Ocelots don't finish eating their prey, they cover the remains to hide from other animals returning for it later or haul it up into the tree, away from the competition. 

Ocelots are powerful animals, so they are associated with these qualities. In addition, they are fierce hunters and swift climbers, symbolizing the ability to overcome obstacles and challenges.

Ocelots are known for their beautiful fur, with distinctive spots and stripes. They symbolize beauty, elegance, and sophistication. Ocelots are also symbols of guardianship and protection from harm and negative energy.
