Endangered Ocelots Gain New Fans
Ocelots in south Texas have gained new fans thanks to a teenager’s love of wildlife and a highly energetic and engaging wildlife biologist. Hilary Swarts, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who works extensively on endangered ocelots at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, wowed the crowd at Ocelot Conservation Day. Attending Hilary’s talk was a young teenager and her mother who are now spreading the word about ocelots!
