    Hi there!
    I have been trying to locate details of a studbook for Ocelot, so far unsuccessfully!..EAZA's list does not include Ocelot and the only studbook I can find details of is the North American Studbook..I am just wondering if anybody knows any details about this? is there a studbook?..If so where is it held? Any help is appreciated!
    :)

    EAZA is not interested in the ocelot.

    I beg to differ, Ocelots in Europe are monitored by the director of Shaldon Wildife Trust. EAZA has many members interested in keeping Ocelot but they are only monitored because all the animals are sub-specific hybrids or of unknown origin.
