Endangered+Species-+Ocelot21


 * //__ OCELOT: __//**

The ocelot is endangered for two main reasons. The first reason is deforestation/habitat destruction. The less habitat there is the less ocelots there is. :( That is soooo sad!!!! The other reason is that a while ago poachers would kill ocelots for their fur. Back then their fur was VERY valuable.Thankfully, ocelot hunting was banned!!! Yay!!!!!!

I think that if we stop destroying habitat and tearing down the forests there might be more ocelots! They might even be taken off the endangered list. That would be great!!!! Them getting killed for their fur was solved by banning ocelot hunting. Thanks to that ban we are one step closer to saving the ocelots!!!!
