Mt. Cacaguatique, Nov., 21, 1925 - Dec., 23, 1925
Ocelot - Felis tigrillo
a Sonoran Peromyscus, a Cacaguatique spiny-pocket
mouse, and a Yellow mouse. A few nights
later I saw another of these cats
sitting on a small stone fence in
the dense coffee. It sat there licking
it paws apparently paying no
attention to me but when I backed
off to keep from blowing it to
pieces I blast its eyes and was
unable to shine them again.
Another night I encountered a
two animals together which
I took to be this species. The
eyes shined greenish in the beam
of my lamp and one came bouncing
down into a small ditch just as
the one did. I shot. These were seen
at the edge of the dense brush and
coffee.
