Ocelotl (MH644r)
This simplex glyph for the personal name Ocelotl ("Jaguar," attested here as a man's name) shows the head of a jaguar in profile, looking toward the viewer's right. Its eye and mouth are open, and its coat is spotted.

Some tlacuilos give this animal a long, protruding tongue and visible, sharp teeth. See below for comparisons.
