A wildlife photographer took a picture of a leopard back in 2019, but the animal was not visible in the picture. The photo went massively viral because finding the leopard in the picture was a tedious task. The photographer who is credited with the viral picture has now said that he couldn’t see the animal while taking the picture.

The viral photo sent the internet into a frenzy when they couldn’t see the leopard. The photo was taken by wildlife photographer Hemant Dabi who also calls himself a nature lover, leopard tracker and a jungle boy.
The picture doesn’t look extraordinary, one can only see the bark of a tree and some rubble. Interestingly, there is a perfectly camouflaged leopard lurking in the dirt. People across the globe couldn’t spot it even after being told the animal was there. If you haven’t seen this photo before, you can try your luck too and take your time examining the photo.
Dabi told LADbible, “When I took this photo at that time he was giving alarm call on seeing another leopard. It was hard to see him. I have seen that place many times where he was and you won’t believe I was only seven feet away from him and I still couldn’t see him. He showed me when he waved his tail.”
See the photo below to spot the leopard. If you still can’t see it, good luck with life.

“That is some camouflage had to zoom in took ages to spot it,” wrote another.
