Reply to comment by Alwayssunnyinarizona in AskScience AMA Series: I'm a wildlife filmmaker who's spent years tracking and filming the endangered ocelot population in Texas. Ask me anything! by AskScienceModerator
I studied wildlife biology at Texas A&M and then started making short films after college about wildlife, adventure, and consevation stories. I've got a small company cllaed Fin and Fur Films. Being a Texan, I've always been fascinated by ocelots. Private property has pros and cons. When there's a conservation minded landowner it makes things wonderful but sometimes market forces or family politics make landscape scale conservation really difficult. It's definitely a challenge for sure when it comes to private land ownership and endangered species restoration. That said, there's been success in the past with other endangered animals and the future could be bright for ocelots.
