For 40 years, the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute (CKWRI) has been a leader in ocelot research. CKWRI's ongoing research has been conducted in close collaboration with the East Foundation and other South Texas landowners. These efforts have provided important insight and details surrounding the lives of ocelots in Texas and has increased awareness of their perilous conservation status. Until now, a missing component of CKWRI's ocelot research and conservation efforts has been having a facility designed to study ocelot reproduction, behavior, and physiology. Understanding these components is necessary to efficiently and effectively establish new ocelot populations and secure their future in Texas.
