Ocelots once ranged across the southern portions of the state and northward along the coastal plain to the Big Thicket of East Texas. Others inhabited the Edwards Plateau, where they found homes in caves along the rocky bluffs and in hollow trees.
Regrettably, those days are gone forever, and the ocelot now occurs only in isolated patches of remnant brushlands across three or four counties of the lower Rio Grande Valley.
