Courtesy of my sister in Costa Rica:
You know how everyone is always itching to see a big cat, but we never do because they run from us? I did see that baby a while ago and everyone was insanely jealous. Well, the other day, Jane was crashing though some shitty bamboo exactly where I had been the day before....and she almost had a heart attack because, after crawling under a dense portion of bamboo to come out on the other side, she was face to face with a huge sleeping ocelot! She was probably even more terrified when she realized it was dead......shot in the chest. So the only person to see this incredible animal was some asshole with a gun. I actually found a dead, dismembered deer in the same location the day before, so poachers are definitely loving that area lately. The body of the deer was gone, so they took that. They left the whole cat laying there so that was an even greater waste. What the hell was the point?
This is also the area where my monkeys that just lost their alpha hang out. The same group that alarmed at us like crazy after he disappeared....so this is more proof it was a poacher that got poor Coltrane and Kanela. Very frustrating. People are so stupid. It was beautiful.
