Minecraft
[edit]Include Minecraft in the article. The ocelot is one of the mobs in that game! 174.24.104.56 (talk) 03:29, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- That doesn't seem a sufficiently notable fact about ocelots as a species for it to be included at this page, although it may well be suitable for the Minecraft article if it's a really notable fact about the game. Which it may or may not be; I don't know, but I'd suggest that that would be a better place to ask. Anaxial (talk) 06:45, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Anaxial It's sufficiently notable because Minecraft is a really big game; in the ballpark of 200 million downloads. So many people would never know about these animals if they were never in the game. I think a sentence under culture should be enough. Silentsinofendlesssleeping (talk) 14:31, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Misattribution of Pucheran specimen
[edit]In the article, the ocelot described by Pucheran as the type specimen for Felis albescens is attributed to the locality "Brownsville, Texas," citing the source "Pucheran, J. (1855). "Description du chat bai et du chat albescent; et remarques sur les caractères et sur la distribution géographique de plusieurs autre chats (Description of bay cat and albescent cat; and remarks on the characters and the geographic distribution of several other cats)". In Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, I. (ed.). Voyage autour du Monde sur la Frégate la Vénus commandée par Abel du Petit-Thouars. Zoologie. Mammifères [Travel around the World on the Frigate Venus commanded by Abel du Petit-Thouars. Zoology. Mammals] (in French). Paris: G & J. Baudry. pp. 137–155."
Nonetheless, this source directly attributes the specimen to Arkansas (page 149). Though "Arkansas" may refer to a broader area than currently encompassed by the modern U.S. state, this location could by no means be confused with Brownsville, Texas. This record is obviously of a northern specimen and representative of a key extirpated population far in the north of the species' historic range. This error should be corrected and the record should receive proper analysis and representation in the literature surrounding the species. Kowalske (talk) 02:38, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
Ocelot in the United States of America
[edit]There are less than 120 ocelot in Eastern Texas. There is a move to translocate some Mexican ocelot to renew the USA group. There is a political roadblock but the landowners support it. 108.7.229.85 (talk) 01:21, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- If you have a reliable and independent source with this information, please proceed to update the article, or post a request here with the source and what text you'd like added or changed. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:25, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Ocelot predators.
[edit]There needs to be a sources for coyotes preying on wildcats similar in size of it. I doubt a coyote would go after an ocelot. 47.197.29.147 (talk) 00:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- There is a reference mentioning coyotes as a potential predator in Texas, with a comment that young ocelots would be more vulnerable. Sick animals might also be targets. Agree a better source with a clear statement on known predators would be helpful. — Jts1882 | talk 14:39, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
