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.
