This is from Matthew, of course, who originated the “spot the” series. Here we have a hidden snow leopard (Panthera uncia) amidst a group of Siberian ibex (Capra siberica). Can you spot it? Answer later on today.

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

Ah yes. And that does make it a bit easier but still somewhat difficult.
Those ibex are not looking where they should be looking!
Don’t give it away!
I asked myself, “if I were a leopard, where would I be?” Bingo!
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!”
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!”
Nobody here. Just us rocks.
I see it. Remarkable!
Spoiler: Its left eye is at (632, 258).
(That’s if you’re looking at the 1200 x 801 version.)
I got him/her.
I would be Leopard lunch. That took me about 90 seconds.
Nice one! He’s very close to invisible. That’s a scene I would love to have seen in person.
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.
Got it. But if it wanted to eat me I would be dead before I saw it.
I found it eventually, but I have to admit it took a moment just to find all the ibex!
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.
I can’t see him. Anywhere.

You should have gone to Specsavers.
