You’ll need 20/20 vision to spot the elusive leopard hiding in plain sight on this Indian hill.

This majestic place is known as Leopard Hills and is surrounded by the Pali district of Rajasthan. It is home to up to 100 leopards that are experts at blending in with the landscape around them.

The images, taken by British wildlife photographer Stuart Benson, show the beautiful cats lounging on the hills, perfectly camouflaged by the texture of the hills and surrounding terrain.

But can you find the wild cat hiding from the lens in this tricky optical illusion?

Can you find the hidden leopard in this tricky optical illusion?

As the natural, earthy colors blend together in the photo, your eyes may be tricked into thinking that there is nothing suspicious lurking in the landscape.

But among the rocks and plants there is a big cat somewhere, and we challenge you to find it.

If you are having a hard time, don’t worry because you can find the solution below.

In the incredible photos, Benson, 66, from Anglesey, Wales, said: ‘We had been looking for leopards since dawn and after a few hours of driving around we were able to locate them.

‘The leopards were so beautifully camouflaged in the rocks that we could not see them until they started moving, even though they were in our direct line of sight.

“Once we located them, we were concerned they would move away before we could get a good photo, but two of them stayed around.”

Another image also shows two of the cutest cubs peeking out of their cave and looking directly at the photographer.

“Initially there were three females and two cubs, and one adult female moved away,” Benson said.

‘One cub stuck its head out of the cave and after a few more minutes the second cub peeked out from behind a rock.

‘Even though we had located them, it was difficult for us to see them through the lens because they just disappeared into their environment.

‘We were amazed that our guide was able to spot these beautiful animals, given how well they were camouflaged and how difficult they were to see. They were real experts.’
