ocelot

The hounds, who well knew where the ocelot had gone to, were chasing it from tree to tree; but still it continued to elude them.

Now and then a wolf would approach, or a puma, or ocelot; but a shout would send them to the rightabout.

I soon reloaded and hurried after Trusty, who was barking round a small oak in which the ocelot had sought shelter.

The ocelot is found only in forest districts, and is an excellent climber, spending most of its life in the trees.

The animal called the margay is really a kind of small ocelot, and it is sometimes known as the tiger-cat.
