1. Yes, very hard to see. Especially since you cannot zoom in on this one. I would rate this one as pretty difficult.

      1. Ah yes. And that does make it a bit easier but still somewhat difficult.

2. Those ibex are not looking where they should be looking!

   1. Don’t give it away!

3. I asked myself, “if I were a leopard, where would I be?” Bingo!

4. This is an excellent ST_ entry because the picture is also beautiful.

   I spotted it within about 5 seconds of my second viewing.

   … “(he’d) scare them out of their jumpsome lives, he would indeed!”

   1. Exact quote:

      … “and when the Giraffe or the Zebra or the Eland or the Koodoo or the Bush-Buck or the Bonte-Buck came by he would surprise them out of their jumpsome lives. He would indeed!”

5. Nobody here. Just us rocks.

6. I see it. Remarkable!

7. Spoiler: Its left eye is at (632, 258).

   1. (That’s if you’re looking at the 1200 x 801 version.)

8. I got him/her.

   I would be Leopard lunch. That took me about 90 seconds.

9. Nice one! He’s very close to invisible. That’s a scene I would love to have seen in person.

   1. Very close to invisible… until he moves.

      An interesting genetic arms race playing off speed to attack/run away, quality of camouflage against visual acuity, patience over opportunity, alertness over grazing, and so on.

10. Got it. But if it wanted to eat me I would be dead before I saw it.

11. I found it eventually, but I have to admit it took a moment just to find all the ibex!

12. Indeed, first I thought I saw it, but then I saw it clearly, just somewhat closer than my first suspicion. Took me quite a while, would have been breakfast.

13. I can’t see him. Anywhere.

    1. You should have gone to Specsavers.
