There is a mountain lion stalking this moose. Can you see it?

Mountain lions are notoriously stealthy and are known for their ability to blend into their surroundings and this is certainly true of this well-hidden predator.

A photo of a moose grazing in rugged terrain was captured with a trail camera set up at New Mexico’s Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge.

But in the background, a mountain lion lurks before plunging into the unconscious animal.

It is very well camouflaged in the rugged landscape and the US Fish and Wildlife Service has challenged people to find it.

Can you spot the hidden mountain lion?

Seeing the mountain lion at first sight is a sure sign that you have a good set of eyes, but most people miss it at first sight.

The predator blends seamlessly into the surrounding forest as it waits for the perfect moment to take down the moose.

If it proves difficult to pin down, here’s a hint: he’s hiding near the rocks in the bottom right.

The mountain lion is marked in the image below for those who still can’t find it.

Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge volunteers initially missed the animal.

Refugee manager Anna Weyers later spotted the mountain lion in a second image and took another look at the moose shot before finding it.

It is not known what happened to the predator and moose after the photo was taken.
