First Ocelot sighting in Isleta camp

We happy to announce that on the 3 of April of 2014, we capture the first image of a male Ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) near one of our Biodiversity initiative sampling plots in Santa Fe. The picture was taken at 4:12 AM with a Cudde back digital camera trap. The Ocelot is a wild cat distributed along America and represents an important part of the carnivores of Santa Fe National Park.
