You’ll need hawk eyes to spot the rattlesnake in this image.
Found near a home in Tucson, Arizona, this western rattlesnake managed to hide completely under twigs and brambles in the photo taken last January.
Dave, a professional at Rattlesnake Solutions, took the photo of the western rattlesnake after seeing it in Arizona.
The company confirmed it on Facebook. mail that the rattlesnake was “safely captured” and that one of their professionals had moved it to a “suitable replacement hibernacula” for hibernation.
So can you spot the cunning snake without enhancing the image?
Can you see the western rattlesnake hiding in this image?
Its skin blends in well with its surroundings, making it even harder to find.
Here’s a hint: don’t ignore the dark-colored leaves.
If you still can’t find it, don’t be alarmed: Despite being able to grow up to seven feet long, Western Diamondbacks are also experts at hiding, especially on a hot day.
The snakes, which can be found in Arizona, Texas, California and New Mexico, typically live 15 to 20 years in captivity and enjoy the shade of low-growing bushes, rocks and debris.
Were you able to spot the Western Diamondback in less than a minute?
If not, then you are one of the many social media users who also couldn’t find the rattlesnake right away. Here it is, below.
Several Facebook users admitted they couldn’t find the snake, even when the company added a red arrow pointing to its skin.
Rattlesnake Solutions apparently had fun with followers of its Facebook page, with many of them commenting on how the environment provided “very good camouflage.”
If you couldn’t locate the snake at all, you’re not alone.
Only one person revealed that he saw it right away only because he received “good training” in detecting rattlesnakes from his late father.
Others needed a little more help. At least three Facebook users admitted to finding the snake after “zooming in” or “zooming in” on the photo.
“I am now determined to never walk, here in the South, on any vegetated terrain, including uncut grass,” one person wrote.
“Rattlesnakes and copperheads are too well camouflaged, too perfect and purposely designed for me to trust my imperfect eyes to spot one resting on leaves.”
Others claimed they couldn’t see the rattlesnake even though Rattlesnake Solutions included a red arrow pointing directly at its scales.
‘Thanks for the arrow. “I searched and searched and found nothing,” said another.
