This baby ocelot is GUARANTEED to brighten your day 🥰
A 2023 throwback to this tiny male ocelot, absolutely going for it at feeding time.
No surprise, really. He’d been found on the side of the road near Playa San Miguel, about 2.5 hours south of us, and he was brought to our team by SINAC on November 8 after people had kept him for a couple of days. At just 2–3 months old, he was still a baby who should have been with his mom.
He arrived with a skin problem, especially on his tail, and not long after he developed digestive issues too, most likely from being fed the wrong diet.
When they’re this little, it does not take much for things to go downhill!
