In May of last year, a young ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), approximately 2 months old, was rescued from a farm after part of its tail had been cut. Upon arrival at the Rescue Center, Dr. Cordero, our veterinarian, provided immediate care, and together with staff from the Huetar Norte Conservation Area (ACAHN) and farm workers, an attempt was made to return the cub to the site where it was found.
