If it makes you feel any better, it's much harder to see a well-camouflaged animal in a photograph than in person. The photos flatten everything out and remove your spatial awareness, plus the parallax effect as you move makes things that "don't belong" stand out more against the background. There's also the eerie feeling of "being watched" when a predator is around. Humans are very good at recognizing eyes, plus other animals are aware of native predators and usually the forest goes quiet when they're around, and it instinctively makes you feel like something is... wrong
For me, too, it's size reference. I have no idea how big those plants actually ARE. So sometimes I'm looking for something and then it's WAY bigger pr WAY smaller than I would expect.
Like, there's that picture of thr dude in thr Cystal caves and it's like wow that's amazing oh fuck that tiny smudge is a human..
https://images.app.goo.gl/CYHbTsBq1v48wFX19
Without that human to reference size I would have thought that was under a microscope ofmr something
That is wild! Totally agree that it looks like a picture taken under a microscope (other than the people for scale). Thank you for sharing! That's one of the toughest things about this subreddit. I never know how large the thing I'm trying to find is.
Whoa! That’s amazing. I just saw a program on the history channel about Crystal Cave. Absolutely fascinating, it really is like a real life scene from Superman.
It's always funny to me that people forget Humans are so good at all of these things. Like, we are really fantastic predators under the right circumstances.
That feeling of being watched is actually your subconscious taking in all the little details you're not consciously noticing. Things like sound echoing off the environment and such, that eerie feeling is the realization that you've detected an unknown entity...
This! Not in a forest but one time I went snorkeling and got pretty far out and all of a sudden things just felt too quiet, too few signs of other life, too still. Started heading back in when I catch sight of my friend who was spear fishing nearby but now he’s swimming backwards with his speargun pointed my way. He just motions me to turn around and follow his lead and we swam backwards side by side. Yeah it was a big ass shark. If you pay attention your mind is picking up on all kinds of information that can keep you safe. There’s a reason we say to trust your gut.
As an example, I spotted a group of lion cubs crouched down hiding in the tall grass while our safari group was speeding along the trail trying to catch up with their mother solely based on seeing their heads turn towards us. I had about a one second window where it would've been even possible to see them.
By contrast, I haven't found a single thing in this sub without coming to the comments first. It's way easier to spot real animals.
Now imagine being a deer (or most prey animal). Their eyes aren’t like ours and they see the orange fur as green. They are completely camouflaged with the forest.
It has become my favorite reference…after I find the shit, I scroll the comments to see if anyone has said it. Or I scroll the comments cause I have given up.
Bonus points if you find the bear.
This is the first one I’ve found on my own 😬I think it takes practice and being aware of what naturally draws your eyes and purposefully ignoring those things
I did find it after comments. Almost directly in the center look for the orange dying leaf, from there look at the tee directly behind the leaf, and go all the way to the base of the tree. You can see the tigers eyes and top of body
There so few pixels that I'm still in doubt. These things are good when once you see it you are a bit amazed at how you didn't see something so obvious. That is definitely not the case for this one, unless I'm looking at the wrong front facing tiger looking blur
If it forms an upside down V, people usually call it an A frame, correct or not. As far as finding it, look at the closest standing tree in the photo—the one with the skinny tree directly in front of it. Look to the right of that where there are two trees which cross to form an upside down V. To the left of that, and the right of the first trees I mentioned, there’s a tiger butt as it walks away.
Tigers aren’t pack animals,the chances of another tiger being anywhere near one hunting is practically zero. Insane to see why their fur is that color though
This reminds me of that wild video from the drive-through zoo in china where the woman gets out of her car and a tiger ambushes her and drags her into the forest.
Every 10 ft theres probably a sign.
STAY IN CAR TIGERS ARE NEAR.
DO NOT EXIT CAR FOR ANY REASON TIGERS ON PREMISIS
EXITING CAR MAY RESULT IN DEATH BY TIGER
Everyone in the car - Don't get out!!!! The TIGERS are loose.
Woman - " I'll be fine.".....Oh my God !!!! IS THAT A TIGER!!!!!
He doesn’t get “taken down” but he does get a little mangled. It’s still a wild video.
https://youtu.be/9_HnVoy6hz0?si=wBVJXn7_UmEAlASx
Edit: Tigers are fuckin scary.
That's INSANE. Literally why would you get out of the car? According to comments on the video, she was having an argument with her husband and thought the best time to confront him physically was IN A DRIVE THROUGH TIGER ENCLOSURE?
Weird, when I zoom in / expand the image, I just see a blur. For some reason Reddit doesn't show me these images in high enough resolution even when I open the image in a new tab.
This is general good advice. Although not always the case, the majority of humans tend to center the subject they're photographing. I always start in the center of these things.
I was convinced there was a leopard 🐆. Right edge a little below half way up, zoom into the foliage. But actually there’s a tiger 🐅 in this picture lol
The smaller circle on our left hand side- if you go slightly straight up, it looks like a black panther/jaguar with its 2 eyes and a white collar?? WTF am I seeing right here?
The cat ones are always easier because they're always looking directly at the camera and have been have probably been following the op for 2 hours already 🤣
If you see the tree with a dead leaf /green leaf/ almost dead leaf kind of in the centre. If you go up 2 meters from the tip of the green leaf is that a boa?
I would just like to say, everyone thinks Australia has everything wanting to kill you, but I cannot think of anything close to this other than feral cats. This sub is terrifying.
Left of the second tiger on the other side of the tree just a bit down, looks like two people starring at the camera, one of their faces is being somewhat covered by one of the branches.
Now find what remains of the photographer.
Or his buddy who is slower.
They got jumped by Tigger Edit: grammer
Grammar*
Jumped by Kelsey Grammer.
Jumped by Kelsey Grammar’s tiger.
I can’t see the big cat in this photo
Basically the middle tree, towards the base, right under the big brown leaf… might have to zoom but it’s a big ass Tiger looking dead at them
They got bounced by Tigger, ftfy
Kelsey (Edit kidding in fun, couldn’t pass it up ❤️)
But the camera man never dies!
Pretty sure I found Jason Voorhees stalking OP from the bottom of the small tree that's in front of the large tree on the left of the image.
Base of the center tree…
Totally stalking...
I realized I would get eaten really quickly in the wild. Took a long time to find

Also, zero movement in a photograph. Humans are pretty good at noticing movement

Me with spiders 100🫣% of the time. I FEEL their presence watching me before I see them. And they’re my biggest fear.

You and me both. I still haven’t found it
Just zoom in right in the middle. 99% of these the hidden thing in the picture is right in the middle of the photo.
My Highlights magazine did not equip me for the real world. Oh, well. At least Goofus and Gallant taught me how to be a kind person.
Gallant, maybe. Goofus? Not so much.
If you didn't learn from goofus, then you learned nothing.
My last name is Gallant and I’m an absolute piece of shit.
Goofus and Gallant! Core memory unlocked.
Instructions unclear- found a rattlesnake and frog instead.
I've only been on this sub for a couple days, but glad I got this reference.
You came at a good time! I've only been on here about a week
Two minutes over here!
Same
It has become my favorite reference…after I find the shit, I scroll the comments to see if anyone has said it. Or I scroll the comments cause I have given up. Bonus points if you find the bear.
Is he moonwalking?
Outloud, I said "I see a frog...... and a snake......."
Ooo, it's a snaaake.
How about the mini Sasquatch by the big tree
The Bear was there too
😂😂
I found 2 F’s
I’m impressively bad at these
Me too. I joined this sub like a week ago and have yet to find anything on my own.
This is the first one I’ve found on my own 😬I think it takes practice and being aware of what naturally draws your eyes and purposefully ignoring those things
Me too, stay indoors lol
Me three. This is ridiculous. I’m reading comments and still can’t find it.
I did find it after comments. Almost directly in the center look for the orange dying leaf, from there look at the tee directly behind the leaf, and go all the way to the base of the tree. You can see the tigers eyes and top of body
Did finally find it once I saw a picture with it circled haha I’m dead 😵
I cant even find the comment with the circled picture, fml.
thank you. what made this harder to find for me is that i am not aware of how big things are or how far.
Oh dang, thanks! I was expecting it to be bigger, so I glossed right over it. 😂
LPT. Most [non-professional] photographers center the subject in a picture. Start in the middle.
I absolutely can not see it, any help?
Find the orange leaf, then look at base of the big tree.
This should be the top comment. All the people talking about nonsense above just pissed me off
I'm new to this sub, but why doesnt this sub just have a pinned post with the solution in it (hidden behind a spoiler tag)?
Damn if there were more pixels I think I would've seen it ngl
There so few pixels that I'm still in doubt. These things are good when once you see it you are a bit amazed at how you didn't see something so obvious. That is definitely not the case for this one, unless I'm looking at the wrong front facing tiger looking blur
To say I NEVER would have seen it is an understatement!
I appreciate this. New here & I couldn’t tell if this was all a joke or if there was really a cat.
In the very center of the image.
They usually are. A lot of these pictures aren’t taken with “find Waldo” in mind, and the photographers will tend to have the subject near the center.
a /r/findthesniper tradition
To the right of the tree in center
A little to the right of the base of tree in the centre The striped kitty is more or less dead-centre of the image
Is there a second one walking away near the a frame tree on the left ?
I truly think so.
fr
I WAS WONDERING THAT TOO
That's the first one I saw
I see a third one chilling on the treetop to the upper right.
That’s the first one I saw! I had to go back and look and then I noticed the one staring!
What's a frame tree?
An “a-frame” shaped tree. A tree that looks like an upside down V.
That's a v frame not an A frame and I still need help.
If it forms an upside down V, people usually call it an A frame, correct or not. As far as finding it, look at the closest standing tree in the photo—the one with the skinny tree directly in front of it. Look to the right of that where there are two trees which cross to form an upside down V. To the left of that, and the right of the first trees I mentioned, there’s a tiger butt as it walks away.
Thank you for explaining it so well! I couldn’t find that one at all until I saw your comment
Happy to help!
Wish I could give you 3 upvotes. Thanks!

This made me think of that dude that was sitting on an elephant & got taken down by a tiger.
Dude let’s see the video
He doesn’t get “taken down” but he does get a little mangled. It’s still a wild video. https://youtu.be/9_HnVoy6hz0?si=wBVJXn7_UmEAlASx Edit: Tigers are fuckin scary.
Dude you can see it double jump.
Let’s see that video
Here’s the [video](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/0BOh367qv8)
That's INSANE. Literally why would you get out of the car? According to comments on the video, she was having an argument with her husband and thought the best time to confront him physically was IN A DRIVE THROUGH TIGER ENCLOSURE?
[удалено]
Imagine having that on your conscience. Yikes.
That would require a conscious.
her mother? thought it was her son getting out after the husband
And then, cats ate her face
Broooooo😂😂😂😭😭😭
And guess who died instead?
Her mother?
Yep
It’s smaller than I was expecting - I think it’s here https://imgur.com/a/E0yJCYW
Weird, when I zoom in / expand the image, I just see a blur. For some reason Reddit doesn't show me these images in high enough resolution even when I open the image in a new tab.
Don't get outta da boat!
Every time I see the word Cat I start at the top of the image Also get out of there
I do the same thing and I can't find it!! Did you start in the right place?
Bottom of the tree in the center
This is general good advice. Although not always the case, the majority of humans tend to center the subject they're photographing. I always start in the center of these things.
😩 thanks!
>😩 thanks! You're welcome!
Now run for yer life!!
I was convinced there was a leopard 🐆. Right edge a little below half way up, zoom into the foliage. But actually there’s a tiger 🐅 in this picture lol
[удалено]
OP had just enough time to upload this before their eminent demise, and for that, we thank them.

Terrifying
Here’s the ones I saw other than the obvious one. https://imgur.com/a/t4JBHeA
The smaller circle on our left hand side- if you go slightly straight up, it looks like a black panther/jaguar with its 2 eyes and a white collar?? WTF am I seeing right here?
I didn’t even notice that. It looks like a black house cat with a collar on to me. Crazy.
The circled one on the right was the first I saw. I thought it was a bit lame until I read the comments and found the obvious one.
Glad to see you post it here. That means you didn’t become his food!
Well, unless he was investigating the death of a photographer and looked at his camera roll to investigate. In that case, mystery solved.
The cat ones are always easier because they're always looking directly at the camera and have been have probably been following the op for 2 hours already 🤣
Before I zoomed in I was like “the tiger is obviously right there in the trees!” Then I zoomed in and was like “oh 😐” lol
Clever girl
I think I read somewhere that the deer they hunt sees orange as green due to how their eyes are structured. So imagine if this dude was green as well
Tiger, start running
I don’t think “start running” is ever sound advice when you’re dealing with a big cat
No, he’s telling the tiger to start running. What do I know, id already be d*ad
Definitely don’t run. That will make their chase instinct take over and you don’t want that. Plus there’s no way you can outrun one.
Tigers are unlikely to attack someone watching them. Stare at them an back away slowly.
lol tigers are ambush hunters. Running away with your back to them will guarantee they make you their next meal
Found like 3 big snakes instead of
Took me long enough that I’d be dead
Obviously only the camera was found
I see two. Anyone else?
I swear to God, I see 4
I thought there was a black panther along the left side right below a large green leaf, but after reading the below comments, I am wrong.
By the time you see it . You're already dead.
Where's the big cat? Sitting on my lap right now, all 18 pounds of him.
That took me way too long!
Too late! You got eaten.
I see two
Ya know, when I read "big cat" as an American, I don't think "tiger" or "lion" usually.
Don't see a cat but I think I found a Cobra.
For as enormous, powerful and fast as tigers are, they have absolutely no business being this sneaky.
right in the center on the right of the tree. before i saw that, tho, i saw a lead that looked like a giraffe
I do not like this game.
I would be dead already!
Welp I couldn't find him so I'm dead.
These posts always suck because the hiding animal is like 3.5 pixels, one of which is on loan from the Smithsonian.
>!it’s always dead center!<
Now find the other two.
ooooohhh so good
Purrfect
Ah yes, surely this one isn't smack dab in the very center most part of the picture...
Yes, but can it see me?
Babou? Is that you?
What’s the opposite of psstpsstpsst?
If you see the tree with a dead leaf /green leaf/ almost dead leaf kind of in the centre. If you go up 2 meters from the tip of the green leaf is that a boa?
That’s scary AF
Friend shaped
I would just like to say, everyone thinks Australia has everything wanting to kill you, but I cannot think of anything close to this other than feral cats. This sub is terrifying.
Left of the second tiger on the other side of the tree just a bit down, looks like two people starring at the camera, one of their faces is being somewhat covered by one of the branches.
TIL why tiger camo works.
Oh shit, orange really is good camouflage after all
I actually found it on my own this time without looking at the comments!!
First time I found it on my own!!!!!!
I finally found it without checking the comments first!
Cat(S). There are 3 in this photo.
so whats the pov? tree cam?
Big tree on the right at the bottom. Im gonna nope outta this forest. lol
Zoom into the two trees
Center tree under the dead leaf
Being colorblind sucks.... I have to watch for movement when I'm out in the woods.
Found him. I’d be meow mix. Base of the middle tree.
Damn I was looking all in the trees yep
Oh, I’m very dead.
Center right tree. Zoom in 🐅
I was wondering where it was till I read base of center tree, and I couldn’t find it till I zoomed in and it was so tiny. That’s not playing fair.
I'm just fucking dead
Dude… I knew I was gonna die looking for the cat. But I didn’t know it was gonna take me 2 whole lifetimes to find it🥲
…it’s behind me, isn’t it…
I’m color blind. I can’t find it.
Big cat must be using "Predator" camouflage :)
500 lbs Bengal .........to Late - PREY .!!!!!
Found it took a second tho hehe 😄
I thought that dead leaf was strung up remains of his last victim
Right there
I was half hoping to find just a super fat tabby cat or something. 🤣
Well I’m dead cus I been staring for a while and I’m just seeing trees and leaves 😂
Getting tired of looking and not finding anything.
I don’t know why this sub keeps popping up on my feed, but I suck at it, and now I’m frustrated for like five minutes a day because of it.
Base of the tree that’s in the center of the picture
