A rare ocelot was born Jan. 15 at the Woodland Park Zoo.

The kitten and its mother are away from public view while they are monitored by a web cam.

�We are minimizing physical contact to avoid any disturbance to the new family and to allow natural bonding,� Woodland Park Zoo Curator Mark Myers said in a press release. �Bella�s an experienced mother and she�s providing excellent round-the-clock and protective maternal care. The kitten is nursing regularly and has a healthy, round belly.�

The ocelot kitten should be available for public viewing in April.
