As anyone that has ever had a cat for a pet can tell you, sometimes they can be pretty elusive little creatures.

My wife and I once spent ten minutes looking for our cat when she eventually poked her head out of some pillows that she just happened to be the exact same color of.

Shoot, even in plain sight they aren’t always the easiest to find. If there is an animal that has naturally occurring camouflage, they can blend into just about any space.

Throughout the years animals have been given all different ways of disguising themselves. Just look at the chameleon for example if you can spot one before it blends into the background.

As HowStuffWorks writes on their website, “One of the most widespread and varied adaptations is natural camouflage, an animal’s ability to hide itself from predator and prey.” The resource added that “every advantage increases an animal’s chances of survival, and therefore its chances of reproducing. This simple fact has caused animal species to evolve a number of special adaptations that help them find food and keep them from becom­ing food.

The photo included here is a great example of what animals can do when their outer appearance matches the world around them. Although there is a cat hiding in this scene, you’re probably going to struggle to find it. Set the clock and see how long it takes you to locate the hiding cat. If it takes you fewer than 30 seconds to find the cat, then you’re among the top 2 percent of people attempting this puzzle. If it takes you longer than 30 seconds, don’t fret. Most of us are with you.

In the photo, you’ll see a dry landscape. The scene is adorned with gold-orange grass and tan dirt. And the animal hiding within the setting does not want you to know where it is. Because it is perfectly camouflaged, not many people are capable of finding it, let alone pointing it out within the first 30 seconds of viewing the image.
