Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Reader Pradeep sent me a drawing of a gazillion felids of several species. But hidden in it is a drawing of a mouse. Can you find the rodent? (Enlarge the photo.) I couldn’t until it was pointed out to me.
Don’t give the location in the comments as it would be a spoiler, but you can say “found it” if you did.
I think this is medium hard, but on the hard side. I’ll post a reveal at noon Chicago time.
Did you spot the cat in this morning’s photo? First, the regular photo again. . .
And the reveal:
Cat, enlarged:
It looks as if most readers got it very quickly, but I had a heck of a time spotting it!
Readers’ wildlife will resume tomorrow while I conserve the contributions I have. Keep sending them in, as I can never have too many. Thanks to those who already answered the call.
Reader Stephen sent me this photo of a woodpile, and there’s a cat in there somewhere. Can you spot it? You can say whether you succeeded or not in the comments, but don’t reveal its location there so that other readers have a chance to find it for themselves.
I’ll put the reveal up at noon Chicago time.
I found it really hard to spot, but a few other people found it readily. Maybe there’s some kind of mental dichotomy in people’s ability to spot camouflaged critters.
In lieu of readers’ wildlife photos today (see previous post; we have a shortage), I’m putting up a reader’s “spot the. . . ” quiz.
There is a white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) hiding in this photo. Can you spot it? (Click photo to enlarge.) I think this one is medium hard—at least it was for me.
If you found it, just put “got it” in the comments, but please don’t give its location to the other readers. I’ll post a reveal at noon Chicago time.
Try your luck!:
Reader Pradeep posted this photo on FB and called it to my attention. There is a moggy in this photo of a bookstore. Can you find it? I did, but it took a bit. I’d call this “medium”. If you find it, say so in the comments but don’t say where it is so that other readers don’t get a spoiler.
There will be a reveal at noon Chicago time.
