You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the leopard in this optical illusion in just five seconds

CAN you spot the perfectly camouflaged leopard hiding in this nature photo?

Viewers have been left scratching their heads after attempting to find the elusive animal.

The photo initially appears to be a rocky landscape in Cura, India, snapped by avid photographer Sudhir Shivaram.

But if you look closely, you can see the cunning predator lurking, searching for its next meal.

Sudhir, 43, had been hoping to spot one of the massive leopards, as Cura is known for its wildlife.

Sudhir said: "The place is really popular with leopards because of its rocky terrain.

"The leopard had come out of its den and was resting."

The keen wildlife photographer ensured he stayed a good distance away from the killer cat.

He said: "I took the photo with the leopard slightly off-centre, so it's really difficult to find.

"They are the most adaptive animals and can easily service on smaller mammals, birds and sometimes local cattle.

"As long as we do not disturb them, they will not interfere in our lives and will co-exist."

Can you find it hiding in the rocky terrain?

Another photo went viral for hiding a snow leopard, and if you can see it in less than five seconds you have a keen eye.

The big cat blended perfectly in the snowy mountains - it's harder to see it than you think.

The caption read: "Some snow leopards cover themselves in snow for a near-perfect camouflage like this one."

One person shared some advice on how to find it: "It's a lot closer/bigger than you think."

Another one said: "Unbelievable how camouflage it is."
