You’ll need 20/20 vision to spot the elusive leopard hiding in plain sight on this Indian hillside.

Known as Leopard Hills, surrounded by the Pali district of Rajasthan, this majestic place is home to up to 100 leopards who are experts in the art of blending into the landscape around them.

The images, taken by British wildlife photographer Stuart Benson, show the magnificent cats lounging on the hills, perfectly camouflaged by the texture of the hills and surrounding terrain.

But can you find the wild cat hiding from the lens in this tricky optical illusion?

As the natural and earthy colors blend together in the photo, your eyes may think that there is nothing suspicious hiding in the landscape.

However, among the rocks and plants, there is a big cat perched somewhere, and we challenge you to find it.

Don’t worry if you face any difficulty, you can find the solution below.

Speaking about the incredible snaps, Benson, 66, from Anglesey, Wales, said: “We had been looking for leopards since dawn and after driving for a few hours we were able to locate them.

“The leopards were so brilliantly camouflaged in the rocks that we could only spot them when they started to move, even though they were in our direct line of sight.

“Once we located them, we were afraid they would move away before we could get a clear photo, but two of them stayed around.”

Another image also shows two of the cutest cubs coming out of their cave and looking directly at the photographer.

“Initially there were three females and two cubs, and one adult female wandered off,” Benson said.

“One cub stuck its head out of the cave, and after a few more minutes, the second cub peeked out from behind a rock.

“Even if we had located them, it was difficult to spot them through the lens because they simply disappeared into their surroundings.

“We were amazed that our guide was able to spot these magnificent animals given how well camouflaged they were and how difficult they were to see. They were true experts.
