Yes, cat pictures are a perennial hit online—and

this one has become the most liked image on the

@natgeo Insta gram accounts. About three months

old here, the male ocelot was bound for the illegal

wildlife trade before Hoja Nueva staffers rescued

him and named him Keanu. Conservationists

aim to thwart sales of ocelots and return them to

the wild: “It’s heart-wrenching work,” Frost says.

Keanu is now 18 months old. With some monitor-

ing from staffers, he lives in the forest, hunting

rodents and reptiles for food and learning to be wild.
