On the morning of the 8th of February, 2012 the Arizona Game & Fish department received a call about an Ocelot, in a tree, in a persons yard in the Huachuca Mountains. The attached photos were taken and released to the public. A second Arizona Ocelot was seen in November of 2013. It is wonderfull to know that there are rare endangered species like this one here in the Grand Canyon State of Arizona. The SKY ISLANDS of Arizona, New Mexico and adjacent Mexico are hot spots of biodiversity. The 2 rarest mammals in the United States live here, the Jaguar and the Ocelot (see photos of an ARIZONA JAGUAR & OCELOT BELOW). At this time, there is only one Jaguar alive in the United States and it lives in the Santa Rita Mountains, a beautiful Sky Island south of Tucson, AZ. The Sky Islands represent the last refuges for these critically endangered wild creatures in the US. .
