Here’s a “spot the. . .” photo from reader Stephen Warren. His notes:
See if you can spot the baby viper in here. I think it is a horned desert viper [Cerastes cerastes], but not certain.
It was photographed a couple of days ago in the Fish River Canyon, Namibia. I did the 4-day trek, finishing yesterday, with my daughter Charlotte and two of her friends. I first heard of the trek when I read about it here in WEIT, and I immediately wanted to do it!
Can you spot it? I think it’s a bit harder than medium difficulty. Click to enlarge it. If you find it, don’t give the location in the comments; just say “I found it” and add any notes you had about how hard it was.
There will be a reveal at 11 a.m. Chicago time.
Found it—in 2 min :).
That was a tough one, I had to enlarge the photo to find the snake.
I found it. Had to enlarge the photo.
Well, on my powerful gaming rig (RTX 3070, 27″ monitor) I was able to find it by enlarging the photo. I can’t imagine trying to find it on a low-resolution laptop or (yikes!) a phone.
Got it. Good one!
Found it, after enlarging the photo. A couple of minutes I think.
Think I got it … but better to have antivenom and not need it, than [ ZAP ! ]
I think I found it. If I’m right, I have a question.
Difficult! 3 minutes, 26 seconds of painful searching.
I think I found it. Had to enlarge the photo & scan carefully.
I found this one really hard but eventually located the snake. I’d actually seen something promising early on in the photo but had dismissed it. This actually was the snake but I wasn’t able to make it out properly till much later. My son found it fairly quickly. Young eyes.
Found it…wasn’t too hard after zooming. Well hidden, wouldn’t want to step on that little viper!
