[ATTACH]37542[/ATTACH] Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), a closely related and larger cat than margay. He/she wasn't very active that day. I don't blame him/her. It was 106°F (41°C) that day!

topoxforddoc Posted May 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 14, 2007 Peter, lovely shots. No 1 is my favourite - the tree trunk acts as a great frame leading you into his face and eyes. thanks for showing Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billh Posted May 14, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2007 Great! You nailed those eyes perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 14, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 14, 2007 Peter - These are delightful, but I'm with Cahrlei - #1 is my favorite for the reasons he writes. The ocelot seems very young. It's been many years since we've been to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, but we remember it fondly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

psquared Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted May 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Charlie, John, Bill, Stuart, and Marcus, Thank you all for your comments. The museum, actually it's a combination of small zoo and botanical garden, was fascinating, even in a 100-degree weather. As far as nailing the eyes, let's just say I took just a few more pictures to get these few with eyes in focus. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
