You're the leader of an African expedition and danger lurks from every corner. Your team depends on your ability to spot the threat - it may be closer than you think ... can you find it in the photo above, before it finds you?

Renowned Washington-based photographer Art Wolfe (previously on Neatorama) snapped this intriguing photo back in 2010. Leave a comment how long it took you to spot the danger, or whether you saw it at all ...

Took me about 20 seconds to spot it. I was totally concentrating on the wrong area at first.

Thought maybe the tree was an elephant's foot, but then I saw him. Took about 5 seconds.

It took me about ten seconds. But, if it weren't for the text saying, "hey look for the threat", I never would have slowed down enough to notice it.

Ok, so now THAT particular camouflage makes sense to me -- it hadn't before now.

We used to have a cat that would look at you just like this one is.
That "I could eat you, but I couldn't be bothered right now" look.

About 10 seconds for me as well. Wow. Beautiful animals. When you seen them in their natural habitat you wonder how any animals escape them at all!

I saw it first. I killed it. I ate it. And I left my leopard behind to keep an eye on things.

Took me about a minute. Even after the clues here told me what i was looking for. Even after finding it, it's still difficult to see it. Impressive.

If it weren't for the one comment on the linked source, I would NEVER have found it. Ever.
