Falling Ocelot

I filmed this Ocelot at a wild animal "rehabilitation" center owned by a jungle lodge an hour down the Napo River from Coca, Ecuador. It was taken from the jungle as a cub and held as a house pet so will likely never be reintroduced to the wild. It is there for the amusement of indifferent tourists such as myself.

In the description it explains why it is in a cage. It is actually for it's own safety. It had been captured and domesticated. It would not be safe for it to be released into the wild. It is better off where it is. At least it is safe and is fed. It is a REHAB facility. Better there than to be released to the wild to be killed. And better to be kept alive there in the enclosure instead of being euthanized! I say "enclosure" because it is not small like a cage is.

LoL!! As with all cats, after he fell, he immediately regained his composure and acted as though it never even happened! XD!

It was and I quote the description: " at a wild animal "rehabilitation" center" get it!!! It was prolly sick or injuried and recuperating there after being taken cared of from whatever caused it to have to go there in the first place dumbass.. Next time read the description so ya don't feel like a idiot.. Jesus I swear some internet users shouldn't even be allowed to have keyboards..
