Pumapard - Puma-ocelot Hybrid

Puma-ocelot Hybrid

For comparison with the pumapard, a female puma has also been successfully hybridised with a male ocelot, although the hybrids died due to lack of maternal care. In spite of the size difference, several sets of puma-ocelot hybrids were born to the same parents who shared an enclosure in a private collection. A subsequent female ocelot-puma cub born to the pair apparently survived and is shown at L'Ocelot-Puma. The surviving hybrid appears to be long-legged and intermediate in size between the parents with brown markings on a sandy background.
