We promise you it's in this picture somewhere! How big cats use their camouflage to disappear into the background and hide in plain sight in India
- Big cat conservationist spent months documenting the lives of 21 leopards in Rajahstan, India
- Adam Bannister found that the leopards could move close to human settlements due to their camouflage
Big cat conservationist Adam Bannister spent several months documenting the lives of 21 leopards for a a research project at the Sujan Jawai Leopard Camp in Rajasthan, and found that they often move very close to human settlements due to their ability to hide in plain sight.
Can you see it: A leopard spotted in the Sujan
Jawai Leopard Camp, Rajasthan, India managed to nearly completely
disappear into its surroundings
An easier one: The white markings on the tail of this leopard makes it less of a hassle to spot
Another tough one: The big cats are ambush
hunters and rely on their patterns to be able to blend into the
background and surprise their prey
Tiny cat: The leopard in this picture is easier to locate as it is silhouetted against the grey sky
Double trouble: Not one, but two leopards can bee seen roaming on the rocks in this photograph from Rajasthan, India
Peekaboo: The leopards' amazing camouflage is
not just useful for hunting squirrels as in this picture, but provides
necessary cover against their natural predator - man
Spot the cat: These images were captured by big
cat conservationist Adam Bannister during a research project at the
Sujan Jawai Leopard Camp in Rajasthan, India
Big project: Mr Bannister spent several several months documenting 21 leopards surrounding the village in Rajasthan
