Shannon Calvert.

Taken at Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo.



Name: Miracle Kitten

Species: Ocelot

Home: Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo

D.O.B.: 10/31/2008

Status: Least Concern



The white circles around ocelots’ eyes reflect light, giving these perfect prowlers exceptional night vision.

Sometimes nature needs a little help, and this feisty Miracle Kitten is the result. Only the third ocelot in history to be born through artificial insemination, Miracle Kitten was specifically conceived to bolster this rare species. Reproductive scientists like those who brought Miracle Kitten into the world are key to addressing the conservation and management challenges associated with ocelots.
