‘High-quality semen’ from dead Texas ocelot may revive endangered species, experts say Chacour Koop, The Charlotte Observer
The ocelot had been relegated to a life outside the favorable habitat of a South Texas conservation area.
After spending his first eight years inside Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, he was likely forced to leave by an older male ocelot tired of competing for mates, officials say. The refuge is just one of two populations of the endangered cats in the U.S. and as few as 60 remain in Texas, where most ocelots live.
In 2013, this ocelot was fitted with a tracking collar as a 1-year-old and became known as OM283. Over the years, researchers monitored his movements as he made a home in the refuge and refitted him for new collars twice over the years.
