Nice find!!
The ranches I hunted had ocelot. Gate guard on one ranch had a mess of cats and one obviously was bred by an ocelot. I think there were two that survived, one of which was given to gate guard of another of the family ranches. It is twice the size of a normal house cat, but made a good pet. Meets all the visitors at the gate and inspects their vehicles carefully.

Way cool... I would have been tempted.
I think that is just an old wive’s tale. Not saying there isn’t a species, but I’ve handled many and never seen it happen. I was involved with a lot of construction in different parts of the country. All on private property, so no restrictions(from Fed involvement/permitting) on protecting bird nests, except birds of prey, which I remember one job, had some restrictions.
Finally found the rest of my ocelot mix pics. Here, he is chomping at the bit to get on with his obligatory truck inspection before signing the approval for my entry. The gate guard holding the cat is well over 6'tall for size comparison.
Here he conducts thorough inspection of my truck
All clear, boss, let him in............

Looks like he may have been de-clawed, probably for good reasons!
Opened our front door one day and found two very young dove chicks who had fallen out of the nest in a large oak tree in front yard. Lots of feral cats around at the time so scooped them up and put them in a shoe box while trying to locate the nest. Never found the nest, so took a step ladder and wired an old Easter basket on a low limb. All the while two doves paced the street.
I was afraid they would have nothing to do with the chicks, but shortly after the chicks were safely deposited in the basket, one and then the other began to bring food to the chicks. There was one of the two which was much more rambunctious than the other. He sat on the rim of the basket right away, and even fell out once. Mama watched while I rounded him up and deposited back in the "nest" (he couldn't fly but there wasn't anything wrong with his legs!
) and the adults resumed their food catering service immediately.Wife and I enjoyed sitting at the bay window over coffee in the mornings and watch the show until they both were able to fly.

I don't get to watch mine, but listen to them mornings and early evenings. I feed with Wild bird food.

I've had groundhogs for pets and the only drawback is that they have to chew on things to keep their teeth worn down. They'll make short work of a wooden chair leg. Wooden door facings too and for whatever reason a bar of soap. She wouldn't eat the bar of soap, rather just shred it into a million pieces. It looked like someone was whittling wood with a bar of soap....little shreds of soap in a pile. She was litter box trained too.
I had a racoon cub that I raised and released it back into the wild. It was worse than a 2 year old human kid for getting into things, unlocking stuff, etc. There seemed to be no end to what it would learn on how to break into things. Fur covered lock-smith.
I'd like to raise a coyote pup, if I could find a den. I might regret it, after I tried it, but it would be worth the attempt.
