My first attempt at posting a video. I think I made it too big...

Ocelot Info

How rare is this cat ? The International Species Information Service lists 217 worldwide, with 108 being in the U.S.
WHOOPS...107!!
You can go to this site to find out more about the Ocelot.

I have been asked where we saw the dead Ocelot and it was about a mile west of the Intersection of Expressway 83 and Hwy 100. We were headed to Los Fresnos TX

Oh My...a DEAD Cat!!

I have had much feedback on the dead cat after I sent out the call. One guy said "I saw that dead cat." And then there was this response from my friend and former classmate Jayne.

"GOTTA TELL YOU MY STORY -

THE FIRST DAY WE WERE IN BIG BEND, WE WENT FOR A RIDE EARLY IN THE MORNING.

SINCE IT WAS CHRISTMAS DAY, TRAFFIC WAS SLOW TO NONE. WE CAME BY A ROAD

KILL BOBCAT. WE JUMPED OUT WITH CAMERAS, TOOK LOTS OF MACRO SHOTS, ESPECIALLY OF THE FACE AND HEAD. ALL THIS TIME NOT ONE CAR CAME BY US.

ANYWAY, WE FINALLY WENT ON UP THE ROAD ABOUT TWO MILES AND DECIDED TO

GO BACK AND THROW THE CAT IN THE BACK OF THE PICKUP. MAYBE SOMEONE

WOULD WANT TO STUFF IT SINCE IT HAD NO "DAMAGE". WELL, IT WAS GONE --

AND WE HAD NOT MET ANY CARS! SO WAS IT JUST STUNNED ?? IMAGINE WHAT

WAS GOING THROUGH THAT CAT'S HEAD --

ENJOY YOUR DAY. IT IS SNOWING HERE - BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL ----"

On the way to see a classmate of Butch's in Los Fresnos we happened to spot this dead ocelot alongside the road. It was about the size of a medium size dog. It is the first time I have seen roadkill of that kind!! Mary Ellen and Brian Carlson




Mary Ellen Minnehan Carlson was a classmate of Butch's that we haven't seen in 30-40 years.
In those long ago years we had a lot of laughs and we had a bunch of fun with Mary and Brian yesterday too.
