Gettin' Savvy



Hiya!

A couple weeks ago I thought a blog was where snakes lived. I also thought only a spider would want to look at a website.

But I am trying to keep up with my friends all around the country now, and this blog helps me do that. I also signed up for Facebook, and Twitter. You can click the link down to the right to follow my twitter. And if you want to keep up with me facebook, just look up "Rio Bravo Ocelot Fan Club" on your facebook.

I look forward to posting on your "wall" and "tweeting."

Okee dokee, I gotta get back to this "What kind of girl scout cookie are you?" facebook quiz. (I'm thinking Do-si-do)

Buh-Bye,

Aya

Hiya!

It is starting to get hot down here in South Texas! That is okay with me, I just lay in the shade during the day and come out for dinner at night. I feel like a little celebrity down here sometimes, people are starting to recognize me! Me and my people friends at the local wildlife refuge have decided to start giving presentations at local schools down here. If you think this would be interesting we would be glad to come give a talk at your school. Just send me an email or comment.

Well, I am going to take a dip in the bay, hope it is beautiful where ever you are!

Buh-bye,

Aya

Hiya this is Aya!



Welcome to my NEW BLOG!!! In case you didn't know, my name is Aya and I am an Ocelot. My species lives in South America, Central America, and in Texas. I live in Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. I generally like to keep to myself, chase lizards, climb trees, and watch sunsets. This blog, however, is how I do my part to protect my environment and look out for my fellow ocelots.
You see, Ocelots are endangered, meaning if our environment is not protected from bulldozers and pollution then we Ocelots might all die one day. The Rio Grande Valley, where I live, is home to many beautiful animals like me, and also some friendly people who really like to live with us and keep our homes beautiful. The Rio Bravo Wildlife Institute contacted me recently and told me they wanted my help in preserving this environment. I told them "You help me get some human friends, and I am in!" And that is exactly what they have done. They introduced me to The After School Place in North Dakota, a group of kids that helped save a family of ocelots down here in South Texas. They also had a party for me for Valentine's Day and 200 leaders from the community came to support the Ocelot.
So here I am, stepping out of the forest, and into the internet to tell you about the life of an ocelot, and what my human friends are doing to protect it. Feel free to leave any comments and say "HI" to me and I will try to write you back. Oops, there's a lizard! gotta run, see you soon my friend!
Buh Bye,
Aya
