American Ocelot&nbsp;tells the story of one of the most endangered and beautiful wild cats in the United States — a species so elusive that high&nbsp;quality images and video have never been captured until now. With fewer than 100 individuals remaining in the US, the ocelot is critically endangered, genetically isolated, and only exists in Texas. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent on land acquisition, research, and conservation, ocelot numbers and habitat have steadily decreased since it was listed as an endangered species. But there is hope.&nbsp;Their genetics can be rescued by translocations from Mexico and suitable habitat&nbsp;exists on private lands....&nbsp;if opposing parties can come to an agreement on their management methods.&nbsp;&nbsp;American Ocelot&nbsp;provides a glimpse into the lives of this mysterious species, explores the nuances of the Endangered Species Act, and aims to invigorate ocelot recovery to ensure the long-term survival of the species.To support ongoing ocelot conservation research and efforts, visit <a href="https://www.ckwri.tamuk.edu/research-programs/feline-research-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute</a>, the <a href="https://eastfoundation.net/science/research-projects/ocelot-conservation/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">East Foundation</a>, and <a href="https://www.fws.gov/refuge/laguna_atascosa/wildlife_and_habitat/ocelot.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge</a>.
