...anyway remember kids, if you or someone you know is being hunted by an ocelot-adjacent anything, crossing water is not going to help you...
...please unplug from the Internet for 5 fucking minutes and go to your local zoo to learn about various wildcat species before you waste my fucking time like this...
...#notonmypostsscrub...
sound advice. travelling the rivers have taught me that there are creatures like the ocelot that will challenge even expert swimmers. got locked in a day long battle with one. it took burdening it with misfortune to eventually bring it down.
...people just assume that because they're not a BIG cat that they're not going to absolutely wreck someone's shit. i swear, people have no respect for wildlife these days... ...glad you survived that encounter though, can be rough going not looking out...
it was poor form on my part. to not expect to be humbled by a creature or the land, neglecting to acknowledge its natural prey.
...well hey, at least there's a lesson in there right? better to fuck up and learn from it than the alternative...
