Its fur pattern blends so perfectly with the bark and shadows of the tree that it’s nearly invisible. The camouflage is so good, it almost looks like the tree itself has spots.
If you do, congratulations you’ve got an eagle eye! But if not, you’re not alone. Many people have admitted they struggled to see it.
One user wrote, “I thought that was part of the tree until I zoomed in.” Another commented, “It took me forever to realize there was a leopard!”
Besides being a fun brain teaser, the image is a great reminder of how powerful camouflage is in the wild. Leopards are known for their stealth and ability to blend into their surroundings skills that help them hunt and stay safe from predators.
