The markings are very similar to a fishing cat, but they come from our Southern neighbors rather than Asia.

An Ocelot has bigger ears and paws.This is an Ocelot I'm not an authority, but this is the list of the animals that the zoo shows being exhibited in their "Cat Country" exhibit.

I am sure they had some rationale for that - like maybe they live in Cat Country which must be a eco-system I have never heard of or maybe are food for the big cats?  "Cat Country" is an area of the zoo reserved mainly for different species of cats, but there are other animals also displayed in that area.
