Being nocturnal, ocelots hunt at night. Because they swim well, they will often hunt for fish. As occasional climbers, they will catch birds. Small rodents, rabbits, opossum and iguanas are also a main source of prey. The female ocelot's range is about 1 1/2 miles, while the male's can be up to 11 miles.
Ocelots are nocturnal carnivores that can catch an average of 1 prey every 3.1 hours of travel. Ocelots are from the cat family which make s them meat hunters, they eat rodents, snakes and many more. By Akwon98

∙ 12y agoidk how much food can a average ocelot eat in a day... but I do know what type of food an ocelot eat. They eat nocturnal rodents, opossums, armadillos, domestic fowel, lesser anteaters, deer, squirrel monkeys, land tortoises, fish, land crabs, birds and reptiles. That's all I know... well all I know about what they eat. If you don't know some of these animals well go on Google.
