An adult dog weighs 20-35 kg (44 and 77 pounds). The current FCI standard describes the characteristic skin of the Basset, which his ancestor, the Bloodhound appears as a "loose". The looseness of the skin leads to characteristics of the Basset wrinkles. The Basset The short legs are a form of dwarfism (see health). The Basset Hound is a friendly dog to people and other pets, and is an ideal companion for children.


Because bassets are scent hounds, they were always in line like walking on to. Although Bassets sleep a lot, and the walks are still needed. Bassets are known as a vocal breed. Basset Hounds are very loyal and very attached to their owners. Bassets are very sociable and are best located as a family dog with a big fenced backyard. Basset Hounds have large ears followers (known as "leather"), whereby the air can not circulate in them, like other breeds with erect ears or more open. This can lead to infections and mites, their ears if not clean and dry. Young puppies biting journey through their long ears and their ears may unintentionally as they dangle in the pantry.


Basset Hounds and Dachshunds Bulldogs are classified as one of the achondroplastic breeds. Basset hound puppy or very old dogs can not jump from a height due to how low they hit the ground. Many older Bassets were slain as a result of such injuries. in addition to ear, dachshunds are prone to eye problems. Bassets are bred for stamina. Obesity leads to paralysis of the Bassets. The only recent mortality and morbidity surveys of Basset Hounds live in the UK, longevity research in 1999 with a small sample of 10 deceased dogs and a 2004 UK Kennel Club health survey with a larger sample of 142 dogs and 226 dead dogs.  The Basset Hound was bred to hunt. There are a number of groups promoting hunting Bassets.


There are a variety of pure basset hound developed for hunting by Colonel Morrison, who were the Masters of Basset Hounds Association admitted in 1959 on an annex to the flock. This race differs in its longer and right in the leg and with shorter ears Basset Hounds are featured in the popular culture often. On February 27, 1928 Time magazine featured a Basset Hound on the front page. The accompanying story was about the 52th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden as observed by the Basset Hound puppy. Many cartoon dog on the basset horn, such as Tex Avery Droopy, appear with different Bassets in animated Disney films are based.

Adelie Penguins


The Life of Animals | Adelie Penguins | There are 38 colonies of Adelie penguins, and more than 5 million Adélie in the Ross Sea region. Ross Island supports a colony of about half a million Adelie penguins. Adelie penguins breed from October to February, on the coast around the Antarctic continent. Adelie nests built of rough stones. Adelie penguins live in groups called colonies. These penguins are medium in size and weight of 46-75 cm (18-30 inches) long and 3.6 to 6 kg (7.9 to 13 pounds). The tail is a "little more than penguins queues. I am a bit "lower than other penguin species. His appearance is closer to the stereotypical image of penguins, like most black with a white belly. Adelie penguins can swim up to 45 mph (72 km / h) Adelie penguins are leopard seals prey, Skua and whales occasionally fatal.


Like all penguins, the Adelie highly social, feeding and nesting of groups. They are also very aggressive to other penguins who steal stones from their nest. Cherry-Garrard, said: "They are extraordinarily like children, of these people around the world, Antarctica, either as children or old men, full of self-importance. E 'was observed as the Penguin intrigue could put them in danger, Scott found a particularly troublesome The big problem with dog teams is due to the reckless behavior of penguins. These groups were jumping constantly in our iceberg. Since landing on your feet the whole attitude expressed devouring curiosity and a head of pork contempt for his own safety.

For stubborn personality characteristics Cherry-Garrard kept the bird in high esteemThe restriction of competition from these predators led to a surplus of krill, the penguins now used as a source of penguins fooddélie easier to reach their breeding grounds in October or November, in late winter and early spring. Nests consist of stones stacked.


In December, the warmest month in Antarctica (about -2 ° C or 28 ° F), parents take turns incubating the eggs, you'll eat and the other stays to warm the egg. The parent who is incubating does not eat. In March, young adults and their return to the sea. The Adelie penguin living on sea ice, but needs the ice-free land to breed. With the reduction of sea ice and food shortages, the population of Adelie penguins fell 65% in the last 25 years. Adelie penguins youth who have no experience in social interaction can respond to fake stimuli as penguins gather to breed.  Due to the emergence of birds and relatively similar to human behavior, human observers have interpreted this behavior as sexual deviation anthropomorphic.


The brochure, declined for publication in the official reports of the Scott expedition, said the frequency of sexual activity, an auto-erotic behavior, and the apparently anomalous behavior of men and women, young couples, including necrophilia, sexual coercion, sexual abuse and physical chicks and homosexual behavior, "says an analysis by William Russell and his colleagues Douglas Sladen and David Ainley. Levick observe Adelie penguins at Cape Adare, the site of the largest colony of Adelie penguins in the world. The discovery significantly clarifies the behavior of the species that some researchers believe it is an indicator of climate change Adelie penguins live in the area of the Ross Sea, Antarctica and the migration of an average of about 13,000 kilometers (8,100 miles) during the year that follows the sun from their breeding colonies of winter feeding areas and vice versa versa. Longer trips were recorded at 17,600 km (10,900 miles)

Liger

 

The Life of Animals | Liger | Liger is the largest cat in the known world. Imprinted genes may be a factor that contributes to the great Liger. Other large hybrid cats can reach a similar size; litigon, a rare hybrid of a male lion and a female tiglon, about the same size as the liger, a male name Cubanacan (Alipore Zoo in India), reaching 363 kg (800 lbs) extreme rarity of these second-generation hybrids may make it difficult to determine if they are more or less, on average, than the Liger.


Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone, on average, an adult male lion, but azoospermia according to Haldane's rule. In addition, female ligers can achieve great size, weighing about 320 kilograms (705 pounds) and reached 3.05 m (10 ft) long, on average, and are often fertile. Shasta, ligress (female liger) was born Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, May 14, 1948 and died in 1972 at age 24. 1973 Guinness World Records said the 18-year-old, 798 kg (lb 1759) to male life liger zoo in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1888 (not exactly like the zoo was opened in 1920), (c 'is a request Liger was 756 kg. and the year was actually 1953).


Fertility of female big cat hybrids is well documented in a number of different hybrids. This is in agreement with Haldane's rule: in hybrids of animals, sex is determined by sex chromosomes, if there is no sex, rare or sterile, is the heterogametic sex (the one with two different sex chromosomes eg X and Y) . Ligers tigers have as an alternative model, which is very weak and the lion as a reddish-brown background. In addition, they may inherit rosettes from the lion parent (lion cubs rosette and some adults retain faint markings).


White tigers have been crossed with lions to produce "white" (actually pale golden) ligers. In theory white tigers could be overcome with white lions to produce white ligers very clear, and even stripeless. There are ligers blacks. Like a blue or Maltese Tiger is probably no longer exists, gray or blue ligers are extremely unlikely. Several AZA zoos are reported to have ligers

Akbash Dog

  
The Life of Animals | Akbash Dog | Akbash big dog with a weight of 75 to 140 pounds (34 to 64 kg) at an average of 90 pounds for females and 120 pounds for men. Akbash dogs in the range of 27 to 34 inches (69 to 86 cm) in height. Akbash is compact compared to other Turkish guard dog breeds, Akbash dog and some of them may be even greater. It is believed that the old dog genetics Akbash on a combination of wind and Molossoid were created. Akbash possesses characteristics of both. Although there are many differences in the size and height of the race Akbash, Akbash dog's reputation, with long, strong body high.


Heads range from medium to heavy work for dogs. Purebred dogs Akbash may or may not be born with a rear double dewclaws. Missing or possession of the rear double Akbash fingers no evidence that recent crosses with other breeds of livestock guardian dogs, or any other race. Akbash should be easy to find, in addition Kangal Anatolian Shepherd, and because they are white, although some Kangal Anatolian Shepherd Dog Akbash or it may resemble. It is legal to export the Akbash dogs of Turkey. It is forbidden to export from Turkey Kangal dogs. Kangal Dog of Turkey national breed.


Akbash breed is not the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized, but recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC). Shows Akbash Dog can be shown in U.S. rare breed association (ARBA) and the International Association of all breeds of dogs (IABCA) show. Akbash personality, but calmly and deliberately. The breed is not hostile in nature, and instead requires naturally bred to think independently. Akbash is a predator or physically protected from all that, if he deems it wise and should be deleted.


Akbash is often mistakenly referred to as a herding dog, but actually working dogs are bred to live with him and protect animals, mainly goats and / or sheep, or hunt, if their costs (although in some rare cases, their protégé to move away from danger). Akbash is one of the most popular of the 30 races throughout the world under the name of a herd of guardians, livestock guard dogs and patrol dogs In their role as guard dogs Akbash dogs often spend many hours lying in flocks or herds. Most predators will not publicly attack the Akbash, the working group, but some may try. Predators are less likely to take more than one dog, animal welfare and the working dog is not likely to have been injured. Akbash is unusual, as the companion dog. With the Akbash has been bred to adapt to their own opinion, maybe a dog of this breed is not prone to obedience exercises.


Akbash dogs need high security fencing for better insulation. Akbash dog is not for everyone. Akbash dogs, like many large breeds, you can expect to live 10 on average, live longer, with slightly more than 11 years.

Yorkshire Terrier

 

The Life of Animals | Yorkshire Terrier | Yorkshire Terrier For adults is given the importance of skin color, texture and quality. From the back of the neck to the base of the tail, the coating should be a dark steel-blue to gray, and the hair must be darker blue tail. Yorkshire Terrier adults who have various layers of the above, or have extra layers of wool or fine are still Yorkshire Terriers. The typical smooth, straight and silky Yorkshire Terrier Fur was also used by many popular sites information listed as hypoallergenic dog. All dogs shed, and cause the dog's dander and saliva that most allergic reactions. The Yorkshire Terrier Fur words will fall only when brushed or broken, or just told not to spill. owners can use the hair cut short for easier maintenance.


The traditional long coat is extremely high maintenance. To prevent breakage, the coating in rice paper, fabric or plastic to be packaged, with a lubricating oil with a light coat. "well lubricated" with coconut oil, the dog is bathed in a week, and the dog's feet are "carefully preserved in stockings The Yorkshire tan terrier is a dog with a blue saddle. Parti The coat is white with black / blue and brown. Some Yorkshire Terriers Liver or chocolate brown in color, they are not able to produce black pigment race is defined by its color, and this non-standard colors can indicate health problems or crossing with other breeds of other colors . The registration form for AKC Yorkshire Terrier gives you four options blue, brown, blue and gold, black and brown, black and gold.


Color alone does not affect whether a dog is a good companion and pet. Even off-colored Yorkshire terriers are advertised at higher prices, can be an unusual color or atypical is not new, desirable or exotic Until recently crossed incompatible with Yorkshire Terrier Biewer Terrier is a new breed originated in Germany party-colored Yorkshire Terriers. Although the American Kennel Club will not refuse to register a Yorkshire terrier color alone, has the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, a policy that "any solid color or a combination of different colors of blue and tan" for adult dogs is a disqualification, and "dogs of solid color, unusual combination of colors and party colors should be disqualified.


Although small, the Yorkshire Terrier is active, loves attention, very anxious and do not show the gentle temperament seen in pet dogs. Yorkshire Terrier, also known as known as Yorkies, are a few other breeds as dogs to train a little harder. Yorkshire Terriers tend to bark a lot. A number of health problems, have been found in some inherited Yorkshire Terrier individual and are listed below. No data on the percentage of dogs with this disease, and is not proposed that all Yorkshire Terriers all these diseases, or that a particular dog do not have these diseases. As with all dogs, Yorkies have two sets of teeth in their lifetime. The first set of teeth are milk teeth 28-piece (often referred to as "baby teeth", "milk teeth" or "puppy teeth"). The second set of teeth 42, is a permanent part or adult.


When puppies are born, they have no teeth, because milk is the only food they need. Yorkie puppies do not have molars. Yorkie puppies start to lose their milk teeth or baby when the permanent teeth come in permanent or adult or adults to grow when the Yorkie puppies 4-8 months old. For about 8 months old, the teeth should be fully developed. The permanent or adult teeth will grow in the order of the incisors, canines, premolars / molars and tusks. Yorkies and other small breeds can have problems if the baby or milk teeth are not growing as the permanent or adult teeth. This is caused by not properly grow new teeth in the deciduous teeth. If the dog is not allowed and has no teeth to the tooth-input, it should be removed because it can cause a misalignment or bad bite. Impacted teeth can catch tooth decay, because food can easily switch between the primary and permanent teeth.


The teeth may be maintained or created weeks after the falling teeth, the new one. If necessary, get milk or baby teeth must be surgically removed. Like other small breeds, Yorkies are susceptible to severe dental disease. The best prevention is regular cleaning of the teeth with a toothpaste formulated especially for dogs. Professional teeth cleaning by a veterinarian may also be necessary to the development of dental problems, the Yorkshire terrier breed is to prevent from larger breeds, but as the Scots deserted Paisley Terrier and Skye Terrier. In return, other breeds from Yorkshire Terriers were created, created as the Australian Silky Terrier and Biewer Terrier puppy from a blue, white and gold, and later of snowflakes Friedheck of Mr. and Mrs. Biewer from Germany.

Leopard Gecko

 

The Life of Animals | Leopard Gecko | The native habitat of the leopard gecko is rocky, dry grassland and desert regions of South Asia from Afghanistan, Pakistan, northwest India and parts of Iran. Winter temperatures in these areas can be very low, below 10 ° C (50 ° F), making the animals in semi-underground hibernation, called hibernation, fat reserve. As nocturnal animals, they spend all day hidden under rocks or in burrows to escape heat of the day and emerge at dusk to feed themselves by hunting insects. In captivity, most people prefer to hunt food for themselves. Most leopard geckos in captivity will also refuse to dead prey to eat 


If food is scarce in the desert, they can count on their ability to store excess fat in their tails. Moreover, their keen sense of smell and sight of them for food in the wild to find, they will hunt his prey like a real leopard, move their tails, lettuce than when they are satisfied with leopard geckos are usually large for a gecko. Those in captivity tend to have the skin colors and patterns. The skin of a leopard gecko is very durable, which provides protection from sand and rough, rocky terrain of their dry environment. Like all reptiles, leopard geckos shed their skin. The gecko eats its old skin after peeling, revealing a lighter color. There are two theories about why leopard geckos do. The first is that in the wild leopard geckos eat their shedded skin, so there is no record of the leopard gecko was there.


Leopard geckos are ectothermic. Leopard Geckos openings on each side of their head and ears. A covers and protects the eardrum. Health leopard geckos have a thick, fleshy tail, while a thin tail is an indication that the gecko is not healthy and can do without food. Although, as in captivity, the tail can be fattened by feeding wax worms (larvae of the moth), these lines are generally too thick for the Gecko for the nutrition they need. Sexual dimorphism is defined as a phenotypic difference between men and women of the same species. There are males and adult females, but can be difficult to determine in young geckos. The underside of a gecko really determines the sex of the gecko. Males have pre-anal pores and bumps while females hemipenal pores less and have no external bulges.


Males can determine the sex of leopard geckos other by pheromones smell on the skin. The men are men with aggressive behavior as they demonstrate courtship behavior toward women. If Men behave the same way towards women, while shedding their skin. Before and after the shedding of the skin, men continue courtship behavior towards women to express. Research shows that more women can be produced at low temperatures (above about 26-30 ° C (79-86 ° F)) and very warm temperatures (about 34-35 ° C (93-95 ° F)). Women born in the higher temperatures differ from those born in temperatures under hormonal and behavioral.


Leopard gecko breeding pairs as a single or a group consisting of one male and several females. During playback, the male will shake his tail, which tells the female is ready to mate. It's The male continues biting the top of his head. Even if a "drop" or "detached" tail will grow back, the form must be regenerated slightly deformed and will probably look very different than the original. Regenerated tails are often smooth and short, with a bulb-like appearance. Drop tail is strongly discouraged. Leopard Geckos usually breed from January to August or September. Once the female is pregnant she will need lots of calcium for health and to ensure that the eggs well calcify.


Baby leopard geckos have an "egg tooth", a limestone peak at the end of his nose to help break their eggshell. Moreover, their skin will be paid within 24 hours after hatching, will usually.The leopard gecko babies unable to eat after the first effusion. Leopard Gecko is one of the most popular animals reptiles. Many morphs - changes in color or pattern, and sometimes differ in size - were high. Some of the morphs are three different strains of albino patternless, jungle hypomelanistic Blizard, mandarin, giants, and snow. Morphs albino patternless, hypomelanistic, and consist mainly of Blizard decrease or loss of dark spots. Giant is a great morph, the giants are considerably larger than normal leopard geckos. Snow morphs generally have a normal dark spots, but little or no yellow pigment.

Dingo

 

The Life of Animals | Dingo | Internal and pariah dogs in South Asia share so many characteristics with the Australian dingo, that experts now believe that, if not a "dingo" in the Australian sense of the word (which implies an independent, wildlife, integrated into the ecosystem ), members of the Canis lupus dingo taxon, in particular of the species Canis under lupus. In comparison with other similar size dogs Familiaris, dingoes have a longer snout, larger carnassials, longer canines and flat skull with large occipital bone line. Dingoes in the north and northwest of Australia than in Central and South Australian population. The Australian dingo has consistently heavier than the Asian.


Fur adult dingoes short, thick at the tail, and varies in thickness and length, depending on the climate. All other colors and color patterns on adult dingoes are regarded as evidence of interbreeding with other domestic dogs. Like all domestic dogs, dingoes tend to phonetic context, with the difference that they whine more and less than domestic dogs bark howl. It is often wrongly claimed that dingoes do not bark. Compared with most other domestic dogs, dingoes barking short and monosyllabic.


During the observations, the barking of the Australian dingo shown that relatively little variability, and sub-characteristics of domesticated dogs bark can not be found. In addition, only 5% of the observed noise from barking. The Australian dingo bark swooshing sound alone or a mixture of atonal / tonal. Moreover, the barking almost exclusively for the notification. Besides dingoes produce a kind of "crying" sound, usually they use when approaching a well, probably to prevent the Dingo is already present. In accordance with current knowledge it is not possible for an Australian dingo barking often obtain them in contact with other domestic dogs. Regardless of whether dingo bark howl bark less frequently, in general, it is not clear.


Dingoes are three basic forms of the first (moan, cry and bark snuffs) not less than 10 options. The frequency of crying varies by season and time of day, and also depends on the breeding, migration, lactation, social stability, and diffusion behavior. Moreover, the curve frequently during periods of food scarcity, because dogs are broader in their environment. It may happen that a dog starts to cry, and some or all of the other dogs howl and bark back from time to time. In the desert, dingoes cry over long distances to other members of the herd to move to other dogs to find, and intruders at bay. Dingoes howl in chorus with significant resin and the increasing number of pack-member increases the variability of the resin and therefore it is assumed that dingoes can reduce the size of the package to be measured without visual contact.


At the time of observation in Germany, dingoes heard sound that observers called Deleted. It Men's scent mark more often than women, especially during the mating season. Unlike wolves, dingoes respond to social cues and gestures of people. In general, the dingoes are shy humans. Although dingoes are generally considered alone (especially in areas where they control), the majority belong to a social group whose members are found from time to time and time together during the breeding season to breed and raise puppies. Dingo, as a rule, very social animals, and the form, where possible, stable packages with clearly defined areas, which rarely coincide with the territory of neighboring packs.


Apparently, specializing in large scale casualties strengthened social behavior and the formation of large groups. Overawing agonist and occurs only in a reduced state between the Australian dingo. Serious fights can only rarely and in extreme conditions are observed. Dogs of a higher rank to show this behavior from time to time to confirm their status, while the lower grades, are more prone to conflict-preventive behavior to show. Big packages are often divided into subgroups a flexible size. In The desert areas are smaller groups of dingoes with a free territorial behavior and the sharing of water resources. On Fraser Island, Dingo was a package the size of two to nine dogs with overlapping areas. But they are very high infanticide, probably because of the high populated dingoes on the island compared to the size of the island and the prey population.


Wild dogs rarely go beyond their territory. When the territory of neighboring parcels overlap, packets tend to avoid contact. The size of habitat and dogs depends largely on the availability of prey. Around the human-controlled areas, as a rule smaller and contain a relatively large number of dingo due to its better access to food. Research in Queensland, the local wild dogs in urban areas have a smaller territory but sometimes two or three square kilometers. Most dingoes remain near their place of birth and Do not drive over 20 miles per day, but some, especially young men to disperse. The size of the individual home range increases with age. During his studies at the dingo from the Eastern Highlands and Central Australia in captivity do not reproduce the cycle was not observed.


Breeding only the heat is controlled by women. Unlike captive dingo, dingo captured men from Central Australia to provide evidence of the male breeding cycle show. Those dingoes showed no interest in women in heat (this time a domesticated dog) outside the breeding season (January to July) and not breeding them. Couple Time usually takes place in Australia in the period from March to May (from other sources in the period from April to June). The exact start of breeding varies depending on age, social status, geographic range and seasonal conditions. Among the dingoes in captivity, pre-estrus in the last 10-12 days. In general only a dingo in a package that successfully breed the alpha pair, and the other members of the pack to help raise puppies. Subordinate actively discourage breeding by the alpha pair, and a number of subordinate females have a false pregnancy. Low number or solitary dingoes can successfully reproduce the structure and packaging falls apart. Puppies subordinates women usually kill the alpha female, which leads to an increase in population will be low, even in good times. In Australia, the teeth mostly underground. Young dingoes usually become independent at the age of three to six months, or to distribute at the age of 10 months, when the next breeding season begins Today, dingoes live in various habitats, including snowcapped mountain forests of eastern Australia, the deserts of central Australia and northern Australia tropical swamp forests. The absence of dingoes in many Australian pastures, probably because of human persecution.


Based on the skull features, size, coat color, and breeding cycles of various regional populations may exist between Australia and Asia, but not in Australia. Today the population of wild dogs on the Australian continent, but a dingo, a wide range of wild domestic dogs (mostly mixed breeds dingo and hybrids), with a huge variety of colors. The increased availability of water, native and introduced prey animals and humans, provided food, the number of wild dogs. Reports from some parts of the state of Australia, wild dogs hunt in packs now, although they are hunted by a single earlier. Dingo densities were measured at speeds up to 0.3 square kilometers in both Guy Fawkes River area of New South Wales and South Australia at the height of the rabbit plague. "Pure" dingoes are widely distributed in North, Northwest, Central, and Australia, rare in the south and northeast of Australia, and possibly extinct in the southeast and southwest regions. This affects primarily the greater part of southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. This situation is the construction of a fence dingoes. Although dingoes have been destroyed in most areas south of the Dingo Fence, they still exist in an area of about 58,000 km2 in the dry northern areas north of the dingo fence and so on about 60% of the total area.

Ocelot

 

The Life of Animals | Ocelot | The range of ocelots 68-100 cm (27-39 inches) in length, more than 26-45 cm (10-18 cm) in length, tail and usually weight 8-18 kg (18-40 pounds), also much larger if the people have occasionally been recorded, making it the largest of its kind Leopardus often delicate wild cat. He has straight hair, straight hair, ears and front legs relatively large rounded. The model of the ocelot coat can vary, be anything from cream to reddish brown in color, or sometimes gray and marked with black rosettes. The Ocelot is mostly nocturnal and very territorial.


Males occupy territories from 3.5 to 46 square kilometers (1.4 to 18 square mi), while women occupy smaller, non-overlapping territories from 0.8 to 15 square kilometers (0.31 to 5.8 sq. I). Territories are characterized by spraying urine and feces left in prominent places, sometimes favoring private latrine sites. Ocelot hunting in a range of 18 km2 (6.9 sq mi), with mostly small animals, including mammals, turtles, lizards and frogs, crabs, birds and fish. Almost all hunting trapped ocelots is much smaller by itself, in rodents, rabbits and skunks that form the bulk of the diet.


Ocelot usually reproduce only once every two years, although the female can mate again after losing a litter. After mating, the female is a cave in a cave on a rocky bluff, a hollow tree, or bush (preferably thorny) thick. The small litter size and relative rarity of creation to the ocelot population particularly vulnerable to loss. Compared to other small cats, the ocelot kittens grow very slowly. Ocelot live up to 20 years in captivity The ocelot is widely distributed in South America, Central America and Mexico.


The countries in this range are Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Nicaragua, Suriname, United States and Venezuela. The cat is probably extinct in Uruguay. The Ocelot once inhabited dense chaparral of southern and eastern Gulf coast of Texas, and can be found in Arizona, Louisiana and Arkansas. On 7 November 2009, an ocelot was photographed in the mountains of Cochise County, Arizona. In February 2011, the Arizona Game and Fish Department has confirmed the sighting of another ocelot in the Huachuca Mountains of southern Arizona.


Ocelot only inhabit areas with relatively dense vegetation cover, although they may occasionally hunt in more open areas at night. Salvador Dalí frequently traveled with their pet ocelot Babou, also bringing on board the luxury liner, SS France. The Moche people of ancient Peru worshiped animals and often depicted the Ocelot in their art.
