Dallas Zoo's Ocelot Kitten Explores Her New Home (With Video)
Lindy, just the third ocelot kitten ever born at the Dallas Zoo, is exploring her habitat more and more. But her mom, Milagre, isn't so happy about it. In age-old fashion, little one pushes back when mom wants to take her back into the nesting area. Enjoy!
The Dallas Zoo’s rare ocelot kitten is exploring her new habitat.
Lindy, just the third ocelot kitten ever born at the Dallas Zoo, was born to new parents on June 26.
Mom Milagre, age 4, and dad Joaquin, age 5, are part of the Ocelot Species Survival Plan. The OSSP is a conservation and breeding program designed to ensure the survival of the endangered Texas predator -- of which only 50 are believed to be left in the wild.
The Dallas Zoo says ocelots are small, spotted, secretive cats that are mostly nocturnal.
