‘High-quality semen’ from dead Texas ocelot may revive endangered species, experts say Chacour Koop, The Charlotte Observer
The ocelot had been relegated to a life outside the favorable habitat of a South Texas conservation area.
After spending his first eight years inside Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, he was likely forced to leave by an older male ocelot tired of competing for mates, officials say. The refuge is just one of two populations of the endangered cats in the U.S. and as few as 60 remain in Texas, where most ocelots live.
In 2013, this ocelot was fitted with a tracking collar as a 1-year-old and became known as OM283. Over the years, researchers monitored his movements as he made a home in the refuge and refitted him for new collars twice over the years.

GALENA, S.D. Bill Swanson, a retired teacher, hosts the longest-running community education classes in the area called Ghost Towns of the Black Hills.
He’s been teaching people about the history of these towns for more than 20 years, taking over the class after his dad passed away.
Bill says it’s his job to put color back into the black and white photos of the ghost town of the Black Hills.
“In 1875, this was nothing, this was total wilderness and then we have the rush in ’75 in ’76,” said Bill Swanson, Host of Ghost Towns of the Black Hills. “Ghost towns of the Black Hills are just generally empty spots, anyplace. Anytime you find an empty spot, there was probably some kind of town or community or camp there at one time.”
