Can YOU spot the puma? Wild cats can elude the expert tour guides when in their mountainous habitat

The cougar’s sleek fur allows it to completely disappear into the backdrop of its mountainous habitat – but can you?

Typically found in the Americas, the cougar is also commonly known as a cougar or mountain lion, and is a camouflage specialist.

But despite the big cat’s secretive nature, knowledgeable guides can easily spot them and point them out to captivated tourists.

Photographer Gray Harvey, 51, decided to test his guides’ eagle eyes with a series of photos of the elusive cat taken in Chile’s Patagonia.

Will you beat the guides?

Pumas are mostly found in North and South America and live in rocky outcrops. They are highly adaptive and live in a variety of habitats

Pumas that live near the equator are smaller than those that live further north or south.

Male cougars can grow up to 2.4 meters in length in the wild and weigh an average of 62 kg. Females are smaller and weigh about 42 kg.

You’ll need to get up early or stay up late into the night to catch a glimpse of them, though, as they’re most active at dawn and dusk and at night.

And their solitary nature and habit of traveling more than six miles every night makes them even more difficult to track down.

There it is! The mountain lion (circled) is not the only animal in this photo, but hid behind a bush in the rugged terrain

This was the easy one because the cougar was hiding in plain sight, but the following photos, taken by photographer Greg Harvey, are more challenging
