Initially, I thought the challenge to find the hidden leopard in the picture was absurd. No matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t see it. I even tilted my laptop, suspecting a watermark or overlay trick. Yet, I was determined to find the elusive leopard.
This adult-level “Where’s Waldo” was shared on Twitter by 16-year-old Bella Lack, and it quickly went viral. She posted the photo with the caption, “Someone just sent this to me and asked me to find the leopard. I was convinced it was a joke… until I found the leopard. Can you spot it?” The tweet has since garnered 9.1K retweets, 5K comments, and 22.4K likes.

The photo, taken by Indian photographer Hemant Dabi, appears to show a plain landscape with no signs of life. However, a leopard is indeed camouflaged somewhere in the scene, blending seamlessly with its surroundings and stalking prey.
Despite the difficulty, some people managed to spot the leopard. Bella asked everyone to keep the answer to themselves, but those who found it couldn’t resist marking and sharing their discovery. After zooming in on the image, I finally saw the leopard, perfectly camouflaged against the spotty soil.
