I loved that your young daughter got to tag along for some of the studies! (E to add that I caught part of the show with my 5yo daughter, who is big into wild cats!)
What was your career path, have you always wanted to pursue wildlife biology and have you always had an interest in ocelots specifically?
Do you find that the private property... situation... in Texas makes ocelot conservation more challenging?

I studied wildlife biology at Texas A&M and then started making short films after college about wildlife, adventure, and consevation stories. I've got a small company cllaed Fin and Fur Films. Being a Texan, I've always been fascinated by ocelots. Private property has pros and cons. When there's a conservation minded landowner it makes things wonderful but sometimes market forces or family politics make landscape scale conservation really difficult. It's definitely a challenge for sure when it comes to private land ownership and endangered species restoration. That said, there's been success in the past with other endangered animals and the future could be bright for ocelots.
