Ocelots are nocturnal. They are solitary cats that feed on birds, rodents, snakes, rabbits, insects and fish. Our Brazilian guide spotted this animal walking along a bridge over a small stream. It then descended and walked along the stream, where this photo was taken. The light was from a spotlight used by our guide to help spot wildlife at night.
Notice how well camouflaged this beautiful animal is. It prefers wooded areas, which offer protection from enemies such as jaguars.
