Ocelot in Costa Rica
Leopardus pardalis
The most reliable place to see the ocelot in Costa Rica is the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park, best Year-round. Ocelots are common on camera traps and scarce to the eye — success leans on night walks with a guide who tracks individual cats’ trails, or daytime luck near habituated lodges.
