Twitter can't believe how well camouflaged this snow leopard is in viral snap

A picture of a snow leopard camouflaged against a cliff face has baffled Twitter.

Journalist Erin Delahunty shared the snap of the perfectly camouflaged big cat yesterday along with the message: “My brain hurts. How well camouflaged is this snow leopard?”

Can you spot it?

In 2019, The Dodo wrote that the snap was taken by photographer Saurabh Desai in the Spiti Valley in northern India.

Desai said he spent almost three years searching for the cat and was “speechless” when he found it.
