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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I see the big white snow goat though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

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

Protip: Snow-leopard is not white

Dirt leopard

Maybe I could see it if you jpeged it further?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I honestly think it helps with this one

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.

Ah yes, I see, I didn't zoom in but they used to be my favourite exhibit at the zoo I went to a lot as a kid so I know what to look for! :)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I found il later, but its not only its head, but its lying down with body on left

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh you're probably right but needs more jpeg

ENHANCE

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I have a visual of the murderer's face in the reflection from the leopard's eyeball!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Come on.... Don't mislead them. Why are you trolling like this. Just look at where the clock handle at 8 will be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yo thas crazy!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I love you.

That's literally the funniest thing I've seen all week on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

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

Damn.

Is the snow leopard a scientician?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

no, it's a statistist

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

With ambush predators, perceiving them by movement is usually too late.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Or more than 2 PPI

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 133 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

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...
