They say this is the first time an ocelot has been spotted in 50 years, but I beg to differ. An ocelot is /always/ spotted.

Not always. Albino ocelots don’t have spots.

yeah, but you don’t spot albino’celot

They also say 50 years in the title and <=10 years later: "In the past decade, another ocelot, named Lil' Jefe, has been spotted roaming in the state, the Arizona Republic reported"
50 years since it was seen in the area

> This was the first time an ocelot has been seen "in the Atascosa Highlands region in at least 50 years," the zoo said.

It has been roaming spotted in the state.
It seems pretty safe to say there's a breeding population of them.

It does make you wonder if the Tasmanian Tiger may yet be found to still be around, given the way more remote and easy-to-hide-in habitats where it may be expected to be found.

It's less remarkable that he said his name.
