GPS locations of Ocelots on Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge: USFWS-TXDOT Collaborative Dataset. https://doi.org/10.7944/xyrh-we06

Metadata Updated: November 25, 2025

In partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) studied endangered ocelots in South Texas. Ocelots were captured in box-traps, sedated, anesthetized, fit with a GPS collar, and released on following protocols in Sternberg and Swarts (2021). GPS collars were used to assess movements of ocelots in relation to the expansion of the Farm-to-Market (FM) 106 roadway and newly installed wildlife underpasses around Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. This was part of the dataset from the Refuge Project: “Monitoring Ocelot and Bobcat Use of Wildlife Underpasses”.

This dataset includes 7,321 locations from 5 adult male ocelots whose locations intercepted the FM 106 study area and the Refuge from 2013-2020. Locations in this dataset only occur on the Refuge. These locations are stored using latitude and longitude with a WGS84 reference system.

These data may also be posted on GBIF.org in the future. The digital object identifier (DOI) for this dataset is https://doi.org/10.7944/xyrh-we06.

Use Constraints Although these data have been subjected to rigorous review and are substantially complete, the USFWS reserves the right to revise the data pursuant to further analysis and review. These data are released on condition that neither the USFWS nor the U.S. Government shall be held liable for any damages resulting from its authorized or unauthorized use.
