People baffled after it takes 'hours' to spot snow leopard hidden in nature shot – The Mirror
Only eagle-eyed players can find the snow leopard hidden on the icy outcrop at first glance – but once you spot the majestic creature you’ll realise it’s well worth the effort of combing through this mind-bending photo
Nature lovers have been left stunned after challenging themselves to spot a snow leopard hidden in a photo – as the creature's camouflage makes it seriously difficult. Some even joked they'd need to spend hours searching for the feline if it was not for the help of fellow players.
The magnificent shot was captured by Saurabh Desai Photography, before it was shared online by @AMAZlNGNATURE and quickly caught the attention of millions. In the viral tweet, which has been viewed over 31 million times, the social media user wrote: "Can you spot the Snow Leopard?" Unfortunately, the simple question did not involve a simple task.
One challenger replied: "This is so hard and the leopard isn't even that small. When you do see it, you can't believe you didn't see it straight away." A second agreed: "It's hard to find but once you see it, you can't unsee it." But a third put: "It has blown my mind that I couldn't find him."
"Quit playing. There's no leopard. I looked for 3 hours," someone else joked.
Viewers who struggled to spot the animal went on to lament their lack of skills. "I would not survive in the wild," read one such reply. Meanwhile, those who earned bragging rights were quick to show off their success. Some also revealed they'd mistakenly searched for a white animal. "Why was I thinking it'd be white and looking for it in snow?" questioned a puzzled player. A second added: "My dumb*** saw snow leopard and only looked for it in the snow."
