Benbrown Report post Posted April 28, 2010 One was found dead in Palo Pinto County, TX, a few weeks ago, also hit by a car. Although it had none of the usual signs of a captive animal (collar mark, clipped nails, etc.), it was in extremely good flesh, despite having only a couple of tiny "mice" in an otherwise empty digestive tract. This suggests that it was indeed a captive animal that either escaped or was released, especially since it was almost 500 miles from the closest known extant occurrence of a wild ocelot. I'm betting that the one found dead near Globe will turn out to be the same. SIA has a picture of an ocelot (taken in Mexico) in the post on their web site--why didn't they post the picture from Cochise County? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
