As a harbinger of the day after tomorrow’s post, here’s a “spot the” photo. Our guide Isaac saw a leucistic (white mutant) lion while driving down the road, and this is what he saw. I tell you, the guy’s good.
Can you spot the leucistic lion in this photo? I’d say it’s “medium hard”. I won’t give a reveal, but please don’t tell in the comments where the animal is. You can say “I have found it,” or “that wasn’t too hard,” or other such stuff.
Click on the photo if you want to enlarge it.
OK, well, I have a few areas I suspect, due to lion-ish features, but no – this is not popping out – even with my patented zoom-in-and-out-continuously technique.
Usually even when I enlarge the pictures I have trouble finding the hidden animals but this guy I found without any trouble. Wow!
Not fair. I’ve tried so hard. I see a patch of grass that looks wavier than normal, but I don’t see anything resembling a cat.
“Medium hard”?
I’m so frustrated.
Cannot find. Guess I would be dead now if I had been there.
Hee hee
This isn’t some Mufasa-like vision of a white lion in the clouds, is it…?
I don’t see it. ‘fraid not.
~5 seconds. Not all that easy, and I may be wrong!
I don’t see it. And Isaac spotted it while DRIVING? Mighty impressive!
Well, he has camouflage-breaking stereo vision and motion parallax that you don’t have in a still photo.
I see dried grass and a tree but can’t find a lion. I guess if I was there, I’d be lion food by now.
Just to the right of the tree in the lower right of the image there is a strong suggestion of a big cat’s head and ears and below that the left front leg. If correct, I would have been more inclined to say ‘tiger’, but the brush makes it very deceptive.
WRONG. I guess I’d better post a reveal.
Yeah, I can see a couple of vague shapes that look a bit lionish but nothing I can be sure of
Note that I said “strong suggestion of …” 🙂
I blew up the picture and did a systematic scan twice and still failed to find the predator. Like a few other people on this thread, I’m dead. Imo, this one is harder than medium hard!
A job for “AI”?
And – and – I think the time has come :
We need a ref.
I kid I kid!
That lion’s sleeping on the job. Bottom left quadrant. The heap of ‘dried grass’ is suspiciously smooth if you zoom in, and I think it’s fur.
Is there any such thing as a ghost of a lion? In the other other spot-the-xyz posts I often thought to myself ‘There is an xyz in this picture, and this is it.’
Now I am thinking ‘If there is an xyz in this picture, then this might be it.’
So if there is a lion in the picture, I think I see it. And I think I can guess its sex.
If you have not suggested that there is a lion in the picture, I might not have spotted what I think is a lion.
Instead of a blob of fur, I see a form. To my eye it is clearer in the normal sized photo. But enlarging it obscures the form.
Some see lions; some conjure images of lions; some have images of lions thrust upon them 🙂
I don’t see it! I am toast in this scene 🙁
I think the lion would only visible if this was in seen in real life. This would allow any movement to pinpoint its location, otherwise it remains unseen (by me).
