I can't believe that this is the first confirmed sighting since 1964! Though I would like to know how old this ocelot is it was cool that just by looking at it they were able to tell that he was a mature male. I really liked this video. I learned that ocelots can really climb that ocelot was 20-30 feet high in that tree. WOW!

Sorry, I meant article.

WOW!!!!! I wish I could have been there. I mean, the fist know sighting since 1964? That is so COOL!! But it didn't tell you much about the ocelot. It was kind of something I would do for my Current Event, back at my old school. Cool piece of news. I really liked this article and I think I will look up ocelots, to learn more about them.

This article, about the ocelot found in a tree in Arizona, was outstanding! I thought that it was cool that they could spot the ocelot and tell that it was a mature male. I agree with Kylan, I also would have liked to know how old the ocelot is. I understand that it would have been a lot harder to find the age because it was really high in a tree. I also agree with Emilynne, I would have liked to see this in person. It has been a really long time since an ocelot sighting in Arizona has happened.

That's awesome!! I haven't really heard that much about ocelots, but this article made me really curious.

It's amazing how they could tell so much about it just by looking. I hope this species survives....

Anyways, it was a great article and it really got me interested.
