South American Rainforest- Brazilian Ocelot

May 11, 2013: This is Kuma, a female Brazilian Ocelot. As a kitten, her father became aggressive, and caused her to lose one of her legs and her tail. She has learned to move around in her own way because of her accident.

Not only that, but she has since become famous by giving birth to not one, but two kittens through AI! I'd love to see her up and active, I really would like to know how she climbs up that rock landing with only three legs and half a tail.

I posted about her feats as a mother on the other two photos I posted of Kuma, and wished her a "Happy Mother's Day!":D
There is a lower part of the trunk of her fake tree that she can get up to and climb the rest of the tree from there. There are some ramps on the ground and from the tree that allow her to get up to her rock wall.
