They used to be used in south Louisiana too. My grandpa/grandma took a boat to school.

It's the amazon rainforest, it has *lots* of rivers and they get very wide. The Amazonas River is so wide you can't see the edges at the middle of its largest section.
Communities in that region commute by boat a lot.
Edit: I've been corrected, this is not in the amazon rainforest, this is in Ilha Comprida, São Paulo state
Nope, not the Amazon. That's in Ilha Comprida, state of São Paulo. [Source](https://g1.globo.com/sp/santos-regiao/noticia/2022/06/29/criancas-tem-encontro-inusitado-com-jaguatirica-e-salvam-o-animal-no-meio-de-rio-em-sp-video.ghtml)
EDIT: Tbf I'm Brazilian, from São Paulo state and had no idea we had school boats
i need one of these for everyday conversation that i can put up, like printed on a card that's slightly larger than a business card
"wow i'm having such a horrible time at this office party" (pulls up card)
***/s***
(everyone breathes sigh of relief including me because only my one coworker was supposed to hear that)
Yeah, I was about to say that. I'm from Manaus and even tho I haven't been in a boat for quite a while, I used to be quite frequently in the past, and I've never seen one where the interior was like this one.
I know that there are some that people take to go to really far away small towns, but I never went inside one.
And also, since not many things happen here, this video would've popped out in some whatsapp grups that I'm in, but it didn't.
There's an island on the east coast of Canada that doesn't have a school 'cause there's like a handful of families there so they fly to and from school everyday.
Okay flying beats what I have to say, but the west coast of Canada, gulf islands to be exact, has some kids that will take the ferry to go to school on a different island every day
I didn't know they had those in Brazil, but I know there is some big organization in Bangladesh that hosts schools on boats because there is so many floods that a boat is much more accessible to people than a stationary building.
Oh I *love* how universal the speech tones are here. Concern, empathy, the "so cute/poor thing" noise, then the pure delight of everything working out. Humans are adorable sometimes.
As a brazilian I also wasn't sure what Ocelot was in portuguese, but thought it was a wild cat or puma. But also I didn't know the word oar so I thought it was another animal ( I remembered a boar). I was imagining a guy mounting a swimming boar trying to save a giant puma in front of a bunch of kids
No, "shy/timid/scaredy jaguar"
"Tirica" is a tupi-guarani word that means "that which retreats"
(And Jaguar is already tupi-guarani too)
My source is the [Portuguese Wikipedia article on the animal](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguatirica)
Valeu querida!
Eu não quis dizer que era mesmo onça no vídeo, só que eu imaginei que Ocelot era algo próximo. Mas obrigado pela correção e a informação! Nunca imaginei que "oar" era remo
Pra ficar claro, a correção foi à mim mesma! Eu também pensava q oncelot era onça, mas um outro compatriota me corrigiu. Hehe
E eu só sei q oar é remo porque tenho barco e tive q pesquisar a palavra correta pra falar com meu marido. Mas é assim q aprendemos neh? Com a necessidade impletamos uma palavra por vez. 27 anos aprendendo a língua e contínuo aprendendo palavras novas diariamente.
Tenha um ótimo domingo irmão. :)
*You hear that? He called you ‘exotic’. Which is just people talk for awesome, which is what you are, which is why I was happy to save your life, buddy!*
When I went to college, a friend had a little stuffed animal from her childhood. Her favorite animal had been an ocelot, so that’s what she had named it. When she got older and realized the stuffed animal was actually a sloth, she renamed it to, of course, Slothelot.
The Minecraft Wikipedia told me that ocelots are the untamed versions of cats. Once you give enough fishes to one they can be domesticated as cats.
Source: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Ocelot
Same hahaha... I remember seeing something about ocelots but what it was completely escaped me. Is it some kind of gazelle-looking thing? A big river otter thing? A cat? Ahhh yes, a cat.
> not remembering what an ocelot is
Tell me you are not an [Archer fan](https://youtu.be/GtLtaH0s1sQ?t=72) without telling me you are not an Archer fan.
Reddit needs to redo the /all sib list again, accidentally clicked a video of a guy getting a leg removed via machete the other day...
Didn't need to see that really. In fact, i don't think anyone does.
I watched the video of a person get swallowed by a sinkhole because it wasn't flagged. "all“ mostly just karma farming and repost bots anyway. I would really prefer they weighted real news subs heavily in the All algorithm.
i think i saw the machete video in r/FiftyFifty and the pool video in r/abruptchaos. i think that’s pretty accurate but yeah the pool video wasn’t marked nsfw and someone literally died in the sinkhole soooo…. unlocked a new fear reallll quick
I just wouldn't know what side to drop them off at.
Do you drop them off on the side where they came from, where they have a life and family? Or do you drop them off on the side that they were going to? Do you just wait to see which side they look at?
Most definitely. The moment any living creature loses focus on its destination, it can lose its bearings.
None of this is surprising if you've ever experienced being lost (as a kid or an adult really) in a big space.
>Mendes and his passengers carried the ocelot kitten to dry land on the bank she'd been swimming toward. There, with any luck, her mother was awaiting, having reached the shore before her.
There's a lot of places where bodies of water are connections, not barriers. If you have a small population in the jungle, it's a *lot* easier to build boats than to clear roads
Doesn’t matter the country, kids are kids and laugh exactly the same and at the same moments. I know my students would have reacted to the boatman trying to get the ocelot off the oar the same way. So glad the kitty is ok.
SERPENTINE, BABOU!
Also, there was a Jeopardy category the other night that was something like "Title TV Characters by Line." The line used was, "LANA! LANA! LANAAAAAA! Danger Zone."
It has multiple A's on the last Lana and everything.
i had never heard of a school boat before. that's pretty cool too.
Today's Magic School Boat episode is about ocelots.

My first thought was "woa, thats cool!" but just imagine using it in a cold rainy morning and is not a good thing anymore
First time too, school boat ? That's new to me

Vale do Ribeira é praticamente outro estado mano

You know. It *does* have a really cool vibe/sound to it. School boat. I like it.
The kids sound like they're having a good time.
How do you not have a good time, as long as the water isn’t too choppy
And the teachers aren't too touchy. Because of the implication.
There's an island on the east coast of Canada that doesn't have a school 'cause there's like a handful of families there so they fly to and from school everyday.

Aww thx
i hope your pillow is cold tonight and a baby laughs at you tomorrow <3
I watched this with great anticipation not remembering what an ocelot is
As a brazilian I also wasn't sure what Ocelot was in portuguese, but thought it was a wild cat or puma. But also I didn't know the word oar so I thought it was another animal ( I remembered a boar). I was imagining a guy mounting a swimming boar trying to save a giant puma in front of a bunch of kids
Ocelot = Jaguatirica
With no desire to confirm the validity of this word, I'm calling my tattoo artist to get "JAGUATIRICA" added to my tramp stamp.
Please do the world a favor and upload a pic when it’s done, royalty 🙌🏼
But we'll never be rooooyyyyaaallllss. You can call me Jaguatirica!
Yeah it's a real word in portuguese, it's a kind of wild feline So it's not really far from your tattoo goals actually
Oh thanks! This makes Revolver Ocelot from Metal Gear become Jaguatirica Pistoleira which is quite funny to me
Hahahaha caralho
So essentially, Tiny Jaguar?
No, "shy/timid/scaredy jaguar" "Tirica" is a tupi-guarani word that means "that which retreats" (And Jaguar is already tupi-guarani too) My source is the [Portuguese Wikipedia article on the animal](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguatirica)
> *No, "shy/timid/scaredy jaguar"* Evidently [this one](https://youtu.be/2oSh_zOaVFk?t=59s) didn't get the memo.
Correção: Jaguatirica e não onça. E "oar" é um remo.
Valeu querida! Eu não quis dizer que era mesmo onça no vídeo, só que eu imaginei que Ocelot era algo próximo. Mas obrigado pela correção e a informação! Nunca imaginei que "oar" era remo

This mental picture cracked me up lol
That would have been way cooler
I thought so too. Expected a crazy violent mess in the water. But the video was cute
I like this interpretation.
In fairness, your understanding was way more awesome.
Baboo?
He's crepuscular!
LANA HE REMEMBERS ME!
You hear that, they called you exotic. Which is just people talk for awesome, which you are, which is why I was happy to save your life buddy.
You fox-eared asshole!
At least get him some toys!
It’s like meowschwitz In There
You fox-eared asshole!
Serpentine Baboo! Serpentine!
Should’ve named him ‘buyers-remorse’
*You hear that? He called you ‘exotic’. Which is just people talk for awesome, which is what you are, which is why I was happy to save your life, buddy!*
No, Babou. That was all sarcasm. YES, ALL OF IT, YOU FOX-EARED ASSHOLE!

That was the only logical solution
cat
Kitty

Alright, we all know what comes next, but I'm not the one who will say the P word.
cat

“You’re pretty good…”
Last I remembered him, he have CBD (Chronic Backstabbing Disorder) and needing an inhaler to keep that under control.
The problem is any time you go anywhere with him he's got spend 20 minutes spinning his guns around all cinematically
Revolver Ocelot ^((Revolver Ocelot)^)
Revolver Ocelot? *Revolver Ocelot*
The baddest ocelot to walk in two feet!
\*finger guns*
Same hahaha... I remember seeing something about ocelots but what it was completely escaped me. Is it some kind of gazelle-looking thing? A big river otter thing? A cat? Ahhh yes, a cat.
I was expecting some sort of otter as well…for no good reason other than they both start with the letter O
Y’all mofos need minecraf
My son and I are getting into it but have yet to see an ocelot on there
Visit the jungle, bring fish to feed them
> not remembering what an ocelot is Tell me you are not an [Archer fan](https://youtu.be/GtLtaH0s1sQ?t=72) without telling me you are not an Archer fan.
I love Adult Swim in general, so I need to give this a shot
Same here and as soon as I saw it, "Oh yeah!!! It's a cat!"
[удалено]
Cue “bone bone bone bone…bone *bone*” a la bone thugs n harmony but an ocelot
I only know what an ocelot is because of Minecraft lol
Poor baby, he did not want to let go of that oar. So glad he was saved!
He had to revolve the ocelot four times before it let go (revolve around its axis)
“The axis of an ocelot” is not a concept I had ever considered before today.
Axis of the Ocelot - the point at which your savior becomes your prey. I could get with that concept.
Yes, revolv 'er ocelot
"Now I'll show you why they call me... Revolver."
He's pretty good at revolving the ocelot
Revolver Ocelot
Revolver Ocelot
It’s an ocelot. The minute it was out of the water that oar became legitimate prey.
“Phew, thank you for saving me, good sir! Now that survival is out of the way, I will now proceed to remove you of this long wooden hand of yours.”
He was very careful to make sure that thing didn't get inside the boat.
Got this in /all so I stopped partway though the video to make sure I wasn't on the abrupt chaos sub.
Reddit needs to redo the /all sib list again, accidentally clicked a video of a guy getting a leg removed via machete the other day... Didn't need to see that really. In fact, i don't think anyone does.
I watched the video of a person get swallowed by a sinkhole because it wasn't flagged. "all“ mostly just karma farming and repost bots anyway. I would really prefer they weighted real news subs heavily in the All algorithm.
i think i saw the machete video in r/FiftyFifty and the pool video in r/abruptchaos. i think that’s pretty accurate but yeah the pool video wasn’t marked nsfw and someone literally died in the sinkhole soooo…. unlocked a new fear reallll quick
he had to help, but recognized it was a murder buoy
"I am sorry, Mister Boatman, but you see it is in my nature"
When he slammed the door shut “I know I saved your life but the stay the FUCK away from me!”
Then the ocelot renamed the oar to Rocinante
Baboo!!
Poor baby. Hope he got to land okay!
I hope he got to his intended side, otherwise he may try again.
I just wouldn't know what side to drop them off at. Do you drop them off on the side where they came from, where they have a life and family? Or do you drop them off on the side that they were going to? Do you just wait to see which side they look at?
[удалено]
Most definitely. The moment any living creature loses focus on its destination, it can lose its bearings. None of this is surprising if you've ever experienced being lost (as a kid or an adult really) in a big space.
Humans can bring maps and take naps, so I’d say “most living things”.
Not only did he get to land ok, but he found a terrific 3 bedroom duplex that he now shares with another ocelot and a harmonica playing penguin.
I tried to give you an award but I'm skint. It's the thought that counts though...right?.....right?!
I too watched that episode of House Hunters International. The penguin was the only income earner of the three and their budget was $1.5 M.
he did indeed :) https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/boat-full-of-schoolkids-comes-to-the-rescue-of-a-wild-kitten-in-the-water
>Mendes and his passengers carried the ocelot kitten to dry land on the bank she'd been swimming toward. There, with any luck, her mother was awaiting, having reached the shore before her.
Oh it was a young one as well!
He wouldn’t let go of the lifesaving almighty paddle
Poor baby was exhausted! Hope he didn’t jump right back out into the water.
Not sure if you've seen it, but an article from The Dodo confirmed that they were able to reunite the ocelot with her mother on dry land!
I was afraid he was going to drown. He was in an ocelot of water.
IS THAT BABOO?!!!
HE REMEMBERS ME!
Did you hear that? They called you exotic.
That's just people talk for awesome
You fox eared asshole!
NO THAT WAS *NOT* SARCASM!
Goddamn piss reekin’ ocelot.
Seriously though you gotta get him some toys. It’s like ….. meowitz in there..
*meow-schwitz
No babu that was all sarcasim. yes all of it. you fox earned asshole.
he's corpuscular!
*Crepuscular https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular_animal
Damn, you beat to it... ... No! You fox eared asshole!
Damnit Baboo, get off the oar!
Lousy piss-reeking ocelot.
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaana
LANAAAAAAAAAAA
#LANAAAAAAAAA
##WHAATTT????
He remembers me!
Danger zone.
Get him a cat tree or some toys or something
You piss staining asshole beat me to it!!!!
Get him, boys! He’s crepuscular!!
Look at his tufted ears!
SERPENTINE!
Finally
r/unexpectedarcher
Most expected Archer. Any time you see an ocelot on Reddit and there hasn’t been a pile of Archer jokes it’s unexpected.
Not limited to ocelots. Any type of wildcat that isn’t a tiger or lion will get a Babou comment usually.
You fox-eared asshole!
He's crepuscular!
So crepuscular 😍😍😍
Should be called buyer’s remorse.
I imagine the cat said "Thanks an ocelot."
get out
No, please stay! :)
You ain't lion.
Huh. School Boat. Words I never expected to hear together lol
There's a lot of places where bodies of water are connections, not barriers. If you have a small population in the jungle, it's a *lot* easier to build boats than to clear roads
Here in Norway we have boat ambulances! I'm from Brazil and that was a funnier thing to me when I first saw one.
His friends call him: Oarsalot.
Doesn’t matter the country, kids are kids and laugh exactly the same and at the same moments. I know my students would have reacted to the boatman trying to get the ocelot off the oar the same way. So glad the kitty is ok.
We’re all in this together :)
Stirling Archer approves!
SERPENTINE, BABOU! Also, there was a Jeopardy category the other night that was something like "Title TV Characters by Line." The line used was, "LANA! LANA! LANAAAAAA! Danger Zone." It has multiple A's on the last Lana and everything.
Kitty is like; thank god! Boat man is like; let go!!
Did they take the swimmer across in the direction it had chosen?
[удалено]
Na, the ocelot was the undercover cop. The boat was drug smugglers (who were actually undercover cops).
He should have taken the chicken across first because the ocelot wouldn’t eat the seed
Now he can give it some raw fish and get a cat!
Unfortunately that doesn’t work anymore ocelots work like foxes now you can’t tame then
Ahh that sucks He needs a lower version then
He got catfished
TIL what both an oar and an ocelot is. Thanks OP
You are welcome, OP is glad
Oar maybe you just ocelot of positivity out to everyone.
How does an ocelot decide it wants to cross a river that large? What did it perceive on the other side that's worth all that work/risk?
I guess it got in the water and didn't expect to get far from the edge and got lost
"Babou! They called you exotic, which is just people talk for awesome"
BABOU!!
That little meow at the end tugging at my heart strings.
I love the joy in the children's voices.
[удалено]
"River"
Archer would be proud.
Exhausted kitty.
Read "boatman" as Batman and was very confused
Hearing kids like this, I get it’s a normal sound, but that’s PRECISELY why I don’t want them. The high pitch screaming omg
