Woodland Park Zoos/Recordng artists are at it again, cranking out number one hits. No, it’s not the latest from the Turtles, or the Gorillaz, this time it’s the ocelots. Take one part folk-gee-tar, one part striped muzzlepowshe. Crank it on your Zuuuune baybeee!
Whole Ocelotta Love

I want one now!! BEAUTIFUL
awwwwwwwwww wild kittehs!
I am unclear who I have angered – my job has NOTHING to do with baby ocelots. It seems rather pointless to continue to come to work once I see something like this. I don’t even have one waiting for me at home! ;_;
they have really large foreheads like human babies!
It looks like the zookeeper is trying to arrange them like flowers at about 0:45 to 1:00… Lady, they’re kittehs, not posies! Please kiss their little haids, for all of us watching!
So sweet! I wish I could hear the original soundtrack, though–they appear to be making some kind of noises, and I’d like to hear what they are. I’m guessing some kind of squeaking or snorting.
Wow, what stunningly beautiful kittens. I felt sorry for the techs having to wear rubber gloves and not being able to feel how soft they must be!
Waaaaait a sec. This is the Apple girl writing the post, right? What’s this “Zune” business??
[grabs iPod Shuffle]
[heads to car for grocery shopping]
PS — TOOFLESS MEOW!@!!!
They seem to be thinking ‘Okay, we’re getting fed, so I don’t need to maul you…yet. Now make with the food.’
Just beautiful creatures.
How does one get a job looking after wild babeh kittehs? Want!
They’re so pweshuss!!! I have an ocicat at home – too bad they’re only called that because they sorta resemble the ocelot, not because they actually have ocelot genes in them. Although her nose does look just like these babies, more red than pink.
I’m with NotElvis, I wanted to tell the lady to stop futzing with them! Mostly because I wanted to be the one futzing with them…sigh.
MMHHH, ’scuse me, but those are ocelittles, they will be ocelots when they get all growed up. Thank you.
Eeeeeeeeek!
Lollipop heads!
Hey! That’s my zoo. The Shiba Inu’s have ruined it for me though. I want a live cam for everything now.
What amazing little faces! What big eyes they have, and widdddeee tongues. They can wash me any time.
Furry + Cute + Big head + Has one of the greatest video game characters of all time named after you = 100% WIN
I agree with Daniel. I want to hear the squeak and meowrs!
Do Want! I can haz naow??
LOL @ Katrina…
Dawwwwwww!!! They need kisses right on their foreheads.
Really see they have marks right there
and that one ocelot kitty is all I must escape!!
HEheheh
so adorables.
Oaky and can I just say beautiful fur coats. So fall fashion Stylish Delish!
Oh I forgot to add round widdle earses..
Gah I have resorted to baby talk…Gahhhhhh!!!!!
T I N E E E T A B B E E E S
You are so right, Katrina! I want an ocelittle!!! OK, maybe not really really, just a tiny bit!
Hey Annie,
I live down the street from them. Maybe they will escape to my house! That would be way fun. Hope they can get reach the buttons on the elevator though.
thank goodness for the message about the mommee! I was just about to say, Where is their mommmeeeee???
Their striping looks like chipmunks!
Qte!!
choly crap man that’s cute. i want to squeeze them….which is why none of us cute overloaders will ever be allowed this close to zoo babies. did you see their handlers restraint? how can you not huff one of those tummies?
That right there, made my day. I wanna rub my face on dem!
Ok.. catsloveschanel.. my boyfriend lives within WALKING DISTANCE of this zoo.. so.. by default.. I’m closer.. so I get the ocelittles… yep.. that’s how it works!
All together now…SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEAAAALLLLLL!!!
OOOOOOOOMFG! That is just so DEADLY! omofgmsfj!
OMG!
Oh wow. I want! Must kiss the foreheads and snuggle them. We have petting zoos, can we have a snorgle zoo?
Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
no kissing , no rubbing faces on the purrfectly sanitary lil babies- ya filthy hoomans!
how do these people GET these “jobs”? and how do they live knowing ‘we’ (the collective majority of cuteologists here) do not have said jobs with such fluffatude?
You people couldnt HANDLE my job. no fun, no fair. poo…
OMG…you know the stripes up the head are the petting landing zone. I have rubbed a hole in the monitor trying to land right down the middle with the petting. Nose to forehead, nose to forehead…must land exactly in the middle….
My goodness we have some gorgeous baby felines here! Blew my hair back with their exotic beauty!
Ocelittles. LOL, Katrina! And I laughed at the end note, too. Obviously zoos have nuff invasions, too.
I think the handler was trying to get the kittens to sit still long enough for the scale to weigh them, and the one obstinate little beggar wanted owwwt!
oh well, good thing I’m not a zoo employee, I’d probably get busted for snorglin’ kitty bellies too.
My zoo, too! OH, this is wonderful! Happy news when two new ocelot babies enter the world!
*kisses to them and their mamma*
JESUS MOTHER SRKGJL;SBR;GBSD;GOB;O CHRIST!
aww <3333333
i love how the ocelittle keeps on trying to get out
ocelotta love x33333333333
Ack!! Death by cute.
Amen, Mary (the first).
ZOMG CAN’T RESIST THOSE FACES!!
How do you titillate an ocelot? Oscillate it’s tit a lot.
Aye thang yew.
OMG I LOVE THE GORILLAZ! *shows you fandom of a room*
I want to get plastic surgery in order to create a kangaroo-like pouch on my belly. Then I want to put these badasses in my belly pouch.
Squee! And props for the WLL reference.
Ah, the babies and their stripy muzzlepouches!!
Big kitty foreheads and little pink tounges!
=P
The kittenhisses slayed me dead, and then I felt bad ‘cos they were probably frightened, if they were hissing.
The world does not get enough of this. How could you look at a baby ocelot and feel anything negative?
There’s an ocelot of cuteness going on in there!
I want nesting box cam!
Could they freaking be any cuter? I don’t think so. I just want to raspberry on their little tum tums and watch them play attack each other.
(0:09)
Oh, the eye plinks! *sigh*
Cute music but they drowned out baby ocelot mews! I see their little moufs move, but no sound! Maybe it would’ve pushed the cute level overboard.
You can’t HANDLE the MEWS, a la Jack Nicholson. (The mews would have keeled me ded).
I cannot handle the face to skull ratio…
I need like twelve!
@saucy: You are so right—can’t handle an awful lot of the ocelots!!!
Ocelittle—-Katrina, you are so good!!!!!
Gorgeous kitties, but I would rather have heard their leetle mews rather than the guitar.
By the way… how come they were gettin weighed together? What good does that do? See, they’re just NOT doing it right! I must immediately go there are show them how. (And while I’m there, I’ll sneek in a few snorgles.)
I want every inch!
Oh oh! I worked with these girls’ daddy, named Brazil, when he lived at The Living Desert Zoo here in So Cal.
Brazil must be so proud.
oh, oh, OH. (keels over dead from cuteness)
SQUEEEE! I’m with you Chanpon, why do they put music over cute baby mews? It always disappoints me when I click on a youtube video of puppies and its music instead of cute puppy barks and whines lol
their wittle foreheads are so big it’s a fivehead! OH yeah, and what IS up with the Zune MEG???? lol
I think whoever produced that video was rockin’ the Garage Band-fu to bring us that delightful folksy guitar. Seriously, I think I created a very similar bit for a family movie a few years ago…
@Alice – Don’t be jelly of the zookeepers. One day it’s “take care of baby ocelots”, the next day it’s “clean up the orangutan vomit”.
It’s a balance-the-karma thing.
The M on their foreheads stands for “muzzlepowshe.”
Most likely their caretakers are wearing gloves to protect those incredibly cute babies from germs. Baby cats of all kinds are notoriously susceptible to respiratory infections. Say, for example, one of those workers has a cat at home. Kitty-at-home might be vaccinated for feline diseases, but could still be a carrier. She pets kitty on her way out the door and goes to work with kitty-specific germs on her hands. Better to wear gloves than to expose something as rare as an ocelot kitten to feline calcivirus or a URI.
I know in my work as a veterinary receptionist/technician, we’re not allowed to touch any animal before completely sanitizing our hands and putting surgical gloves on. It just saves a whole lot of headache and germ-spreading.
That being said… OMGCUTEKITTEEZ!!!!
OMG SO CUUUUUTE
Did you see it WINKED at us? AWWWWWWWW!
0:11!!!!
Well thanks so much CO.. my head just asploded… again… EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
OMG

Full grown ocelot. Big cats give me a heart boner.
Pound for pound, cats are the most supreme badasses.
When you love, you enjoy one minute, clean up the next.
That is very cute. This is cuter: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/labrador-retriever-puppies-1-day-old
Meg, put this on the front page! puppies!
Not cute. That woman’s smugness at having the MOST AWESOME JOB IN THE WORLD is in very bad taste.
awesomelots
Man, if you’re going to make a song entirely out of GarageBand loops, at least pick a tempo that doesn’t make them all time-stretched! ><
/musicsnob/

I could not have summed up my life any better. Thank you, cachorro!
Note my user name–I have been using it for YEARS. I so want one. And Holly there is a Animal Park on the Oregon coast where you CAN snorgle baby big kitties. Some pics are here:

Unfortunately they made me give the baby black panther back
lovely pink tongue action. want to redecorate my apt. in those colors. and them scampering.
Thanks to all for the kind refs, a very Happy Thanksgiving to all peeps everywhere.
Come to think of it, I have never seen turkey-shaped marshmallow peeps-I wonder why not- has anyone seen them?
More ocelots, please!(A streaming video would be nice, too!)
Dang! I was eagerly anticipating Led Zeppelin as the soundtrack to the video.
(gentle, tottering ocelettes moving to the beat of “I wanna be your back door man!)
Those aren’t ocelots, they’re ocelittles.
Darn. Always read previous posts first.
Hey, I shot the video you see above. I TOO wish we could hear little meows. They never meowed though! Not even a hiss. They just open their mouths and stick their tongues out. They’re so cute though, and growing fast.
We’ll have an updated video in the next couple of weeks.
Ryan
Ryan: *MOAR* !!!
Yeah, Zach. But it is very funny, even when you think it up, too. You may, therefore, share in all of my refs. Happy Thanksgiving. Don’t spend it all in one place.
Dear Ryan, please. more oce-things? Thanks!
Sensate- no dice, “404 page not found”, (whimper).
Thanks Ryan! More kittehs please and mowrs if possible!
Anyone here old enough to remember “Honey West,” ABC’s 1965 private eye series starring
Anne Francis in the title role and “Bruce” in the role of Bruce, her ocelot companion?
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm395220480/tt0058814
Absolutely adorable! I think I’m in love!
*sigh* As someone who has worked previously in this field and is desperate to find a job in this field in the area where I live (which after THREE years, must not exist) I literally could not handle the cute. I am miserable in my job and just want back in with cute and cuddlies. Or just about anything non-human for that matter. Poor me.
OMG, I just about pee’d myself, that was so great.
Plz to have moar wild kittehs posted, kthxbai!
*And another peep ’splodes to dust.*
I am JELLY! I am reduced to a jelly by all this cuteness, but I am also
JELLY OF THE ZOOKEEPERS!
Shannon-I am sorry that you are miserable in your job. There are many furry critters that could love you at your nearest shelter….or you prolly already thought of that. Stay with us, we’ll keep your Qte factor in the ‘ridiculous’range! I hope you find appropriate snorgling soon.K.
Baby Ocelot has looked into my soul… and keeelled meee!
Y’know, they’re awfully cute, but they do look a bit like they will eventually try to rip my face off. Something about the build of their head….
Those are the children of Bella and Brazil! I’ve been going to the Woodland park zoo for the past 4 years to see Bella, because she’s my favorite!
I’m so glad she had her kittehs!!!
TK — why, just because they’re wild predator cats? Perish the thought!
Seriously, gotta give wild animals respect. Doesn’t pay not to.
