Salisbury Zoo Now Home to Ocelot Kitten

SALISBURY, Md. (AP) -- Maryland's Salisbury Zoo says it has a new resident: a female ocelot kitten.

Ocelots are small, wild cats that live in Mexico and Central and South America.
The ocelot kitten named Anahi that is now at the zoo is a little over a year old and was born at The Greenville Zoo in South Carolina.

The zoo previously had a male ocelot named Ozzie. The almost 17-year-old died this past winter.

The Salisbury Zoo says it hopes to get a male ocelot in the future to pair with Anahi.
