Capture and Morphometric Data from Ocelots around Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge from 2011-2021. Version 1.1. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Los Fresnos, Texas, USA. https://doi.org/10.7944/m32b-ps86
Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) captured endangered ocelots to monitor the local population on Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. This dataset includes data from 69 captures and measurements of 24 male or female ocelots by U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff from 2011-2021. Ocelots were captured in box-traps, and if appropriate for tracking their movements, were sedated, anesthetized, fit with a VHF or GPS collar, and released on USFWS lands following protocols in Sternberg and Swarts (2021; https://doi.org/10.7944/pbwy-se62 and https://doi.org/10.7944/wx3d-jd10).
