The impossible quiz: Can you find the leopard in this photo?

A photograph of a leopard camouflaged in a ditch has gone viral after users have tried to find it and “gone crazy” in the process. 

Twitter user Bella Lack shared the image on September 27, asking her followers if they could find the leopard - admitting she thought it was a joke until she found the spotty predator. 

The snap was taken by her friend who is a photographer in India, and on first glance comes off as a very boring image of trees and dirt. 

However it turns out the apex predator is lurking in plain sight.

WARNING: Spoiler below 

Leopards are cunning, solitary animals, and unlike lions they hunt at night to avoid competition with the “king” of the jungle. 

Similar to jaguars, they differ by being smaller and less muscular. 

They also don’t have a dot in the centre of their spots, unlike a jaguar which does. 

After much effort, many users were unable to find the spotted predator until it was spoiled for them. 

It turns out the big cat was hiding in a ditch, and while it is barely visible, it is seamlessly blending into its surroundings.
