ocelot habitat

The ocelot inhabits both scrubland and forest. Forest-dwelling ocelots have rich, golden-colored coats that blend in with the golden-brown hue of the trees. Ocelots that live in scrubland have duller, grayish-colored coasts that provide camouflage from predators.An agile climber, the ocelot spends much of its time resting in trees. Unlike domestic cats that can run down trees headfirst, the ocelot climbs down backward.The ocelot is territorial and marks it the boundaries of its territory by spraying trees with urine. Most ocelots are solitary, but some form pairs
