Great Nova episode! This may be a dumb question, but if there's so much habitat that's so well managed in Mexico, why can't the American ocelots be taken there? Itd make them extinct in the US, but it'd keep them from being in a fragmented, genetically homogeneous population prone to human conflict.

Interesting thought. For me, as an American and as a Texan, I don't like the idea of not being able to have our most beautiful and endangered cat in our home. Where they currently exist in Texas, they're doing fairly well.
