1. Ocelot: The ocelot (_Leopardus pardalis_) is a medium-sized wild cat native to tropical areas of the Americas.
2. Margay: The margay (_Leopardus wiedii_) is also a medium-sized wild cat native to Central and South America.
While both the ocelot and margay are spotted Felidae species, they have distinct fur patterns, skull structures, and ecological preferences. They also exhibit somewhat different behavioral traits. While margay primarily occupies dense forest habitats throughout its range, ocelots can be found in various environments, including forests, semi-deserts, and wetlands.
Hence, ocelots and margays, though resembling each other in some ways, are indeed distinctive species of wild cats.
