Matthew sent me this tweet, but I thought it deserved to be elevated to a “Spot the. . ” post. Can you spot the Persian leopard? (It’s a subspecies of Panthera pardus, which includes the familiar African leopard.)
There will be no reveal as this is of medium difficulty. But it does show how well camouflaged this cat is

Took me a moment! I would be dead now.
Yeah, he’s much closer than I expected. Yikes.
You can see the yellows of his eyes.
He looks hungry.
He looks like a ghost.
I see just his head. Where’s the rest of his body? Is it all hidden or should I be able to see it?
Most of it is hidden, I think.
“Here’s lookin’ at you, kid!”
That is impressive. Now that I know where it is, I can see it in the small image and wonder how I could have missed it in the first place!
And I think it “knows” how well camouflaged it is.
Once you see that face, you can’t not see it.
Quite true.
But when you first see it, it’s a shock, isn’t it?

He found me.
