At first sight you might think this animal is a jaguar, but it is actually an endangered species known as an ocelot. With less than 100 known to be living in the US, this rare sighting is the first in the region in over 50 years! For those who don't know, ocelots are a medium-sized wildcat with a “chain rosette” spotted coat, a long ringed tail, and they have slightly rounded ears.
