Yes, ocelots can see in the dark better than humans due to their eyes' adaptations for low-light conditions. They possess a high number of rod cells, which are sensitive to dim light, and a layer called the tapetum lucidum that enhances their night vision by reflecting light that passes through the retina. This makes them effective nocturnal hunters. However, while they can see in low light, they are not wholly nocturnal and are also active during the day.
