Mountain lions by nature are stealthy animals that will typically see you before you ever see them. The predators usually hunt at night and/or lie in wait for unsuspecting prey, and are usually invisible in the habitat in which they hide.
Take for example this photo taken by John Tull of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Washoe County, Nevada.
The USFWS posted the photo on Facebook Wednesday and wrote, “Where’s Waldo: Mountain lion in Washoe County, Nevada, edition. Can you spy the big cat?”
Among the comments on Facebook:
“It’s just a photo of rocks, isn’t it?”
“I see the big cat now! You guys made it tricky for us!”
“Hidden nicely and a gorgeous creature.”

“I would never have found it without hints!”
“I would be in big trouble, because I can’t see the mountain lion.”
“Wow. Took a while.”
“Yes, but wow, hard to see.”
“Yes, but I would probably walk right past it!”
“Under the rock!”
Yes, it’s well hidden under the rocks to the left. In case you need the help, here’s the reveal:
