The snow leopard, known as the ghost of the mountains, is a pro at camouflage. Known for being solitary and shy animals, this big cat can blend perfectly well into their mountainous surroundings thanks to their thick yellow and grey coat.
A recent photo published on Twitter proved how well these masters of disguise can become invisible, both to the human eyes and their prey. Will you be able to spot the hidden cat in the picture?
Where’s the cat hiding?
At first glance, you see a snow-covered mountainside and that’s it… well, not quite! A cat is hidden somewhere and it’s not easy to find him. Can you see him?
They are called Ghosts of the Mountains, which says a lot about them. If you struggle to spot the yellow and grey cat, don’t worry; you are not alone. So, have you found the cat yet? Look closely…
Ok, we’ll give you a hint.
The snow leopard, the camouflage master
It isn’t the first time, the snow leopard has played a disappearing trick on people. Indeed, in 2019, a photographer named Saurabh Desai shared a beautiful image of the Ghost of the Mountains in his habitat. The picture was taken in the Spiti Valley of North India. If you were questioning your eyesight with the first picture above, try with this one below.
