EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the agile and elusive Ocelot, Leopardus pardalis, also known as Felis pardalis, in its natural habitat during the daytime hours. Depicted in Plate 86 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 2, published in 1846, this illustration is the work of renowned naturalists John James Audubon and John Bachman. The male ocelot, with its distinctive coat of black spots on golden-yellow background, is shown in mid-action, poised to pounce on a fish. The ocelot, a member of the Felidae family and the Felinae subfamily, is a dangerous and powerful predator native to the Americas. With its exceptional balance and grace, this big cat is an expert hunter, able to climb trees and swim with ease. The ocelot's diet consists mainly of fish, birds, and small mammals. John James Audubon and John Bachman, both pioneers in the field of natural history, collaborated on this comprehensive work to document the various species of quadrupeds native to North America. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy resulted in this stunning illustration, which captures the essence of the ocelot's power and beauty. Born in 1785, Audubon was a self-taught artist and naturalist, while Bachman, born in 1790, was a renowned naturalist and clergyman. Their collaboration on "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" is considered a seminal work in the history of natural history and remains an enduring testament to their dedication to documenting the natural world.
