I overestimated people’s ability to spot the white lion in yesterday’s post, probably because I knew where it is. It’s hunkered down in the grass with only its back showing, and the circle below shows you where it is:
A photo with the camera zoomed in to the max:
We’ll have more and better photos tomorrow. I took this intending it to be a “spot the” photo. Soon we’ll have a double entendre photo: “spot the leopard.”


I placed it in several locations!
I want a ref – where’s the ref?
Or this is just level : EXTREME!
I’m the referee, I run this site, and I SAW IT! See photos tomorrow, where it will clearly be revealed as a lion.
Yay! I got it!
And just beyond the lion, there is a man pointing up at the sky. I hope you warned him.
The patterns stands out, but I cannot see any details in this one. Where is the snout, the ears, the tail? Would not have classified it as a lion.
Yes, but Isaac did. Perhaps it was easier to distinguish in person instead of from this photo.
The color- and texture-matching of the white lion’s fur with the dried grass couldn’t have been better!
I agree. It was superbly camouflaged. I even did some photo manipulation and contrast enhancement and edge detection, and though I thought that spot “suspicious” I could never go so far as to be even provisionally sure it was the lion…I thought I might easily have been missing it somewhere else.
I do imagine it would’ve been easier in 3-D, so to speak, but still, quite a challenge. Nice.
I saw it right away yesterday!
Looks like you’re having the time of your life🤗
That was one of the anomalous patterns that I saw that I thought could be it but even with it ringed I can only really make out lion features if I kind of squint a bit.
ok, saw that smudge yesterday
but don’t see a lion
believe lion there
just can’t see ’em
