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.
