Learn how sustainable ranching systems support ocelots and other native species. With fewer than 100 ocelots remaining in the United States, the largest population is found on a cattle ranch deep in South Texas. In this video, the East Foundation’s Chief Science Officer Jason Sawyer shares how ranching systems are crucial in ensuring that Texas landscapes remain suitable for wildlife, specifically for ocelots.
Watch the “Ranching with Ocelots” video and read the Background Reading in the Support Materials to get to know the ocelot and explore the South Texas land they inhabit.
