Snow Leopard

You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?
- I know, thank you, I just hate the “can you spot the …?” pictures that are low resolution and poorly compressed.
  
  Perhaps you could compress the image further into an even shittier format? I can still make out the snow leopard from this one.
  
  That's just a bunch of pixels from a shitty image
  
  Holy shit I’m dead
  
  Goddamn there it, couldn't see it before
  
  Still can't see it :(

Needs more JPEG
- do I look I know what a jay peg is?
  
  It’s insane that this is age-restricted now.
  
  Seen it before, still clicked. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

Maybe I could see it if you jpeged it further?
- I honestly think it helps with this one

It’s just a snow leopard, you don’t need to censor it with all that blur.

In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement
- With ambush predators, perceiving them by movement is usually too late.
- Or more than 2 PPI

- I love you.
  That's literally the funniest thing I've seen all week on Lemmy.
- I am blind where is it?
  
  Op is trolling with the red circle. Look just above it. It's only the leopard's head.
  I'm super fun at parties guys I swear
- ops ur ded
- Yo thas crazy!
- You have died

Protip: Snow-leopard is not white
- Dirt leopard

I've seen this picture a couple of times, and I remember where he is. Easy, he's... uh... errr...
Damn.

From https://www.escape.com.au/news/snow-leopard-perfectly-camouflaged-in-mountain-terrain-baffles-the-internet/news-story/bcc5e99d35292787175a13f489ebd7aa. Brought to you by reporters copying things of reddit, but at least escape didn't butcher the image, unlike boredpanda.
The photographer's website wouldn't load for me, so I don't know if it has a better quality available.
- Thanks!!! :) I'm also really curious if people are using newer monitors as I upcycle most of mine and can't really tell. It just looks a little jpeged but not the worst. My eyes are starting to go though haha.
  
  I nearly always scroll lemmy on my phone, so when I can't find the Waldo right away, I zoom in and start panning around. But with this find Waldo picture, I can actually spot the leopard easier when not zoomed in. It just pops out for me, my cat has probably trained me too well.
  I think the issue with the boredpanda picture is that the original photo was already fuzzy (long distance shot I think) and a compressed jpeg. Someone at boredpanda then cut out a too small part of that and jpeg compressed it a 2nd time, giving the leopard additional dazzle camouflage on top of it's natural camouflage.

Saw it too late. Am lunch.
- In the real world there are way more pixels.
  This is a shitty image.
- Gave nose boop. Am dinner.

Didn't see it for a good while and was thinking that this was some commentary on why hardly any snow leopards are around anymore because of mass extinctions, habitat loss and climate change...

in my defense, i did not know what a snow leopard was and thought it was white like a polar bear

Find the kitty, pet the kitty.

Horrid Vision Simulator is coming along nicely, it's perfectly blurry

I thought the point was the whole thing was actually tiny, just a handful of snow and small isicles. Then I saw the leopard.

Is the snow leopard a scientician?
- no, it's a statistist

I see the big white snow goat though.
