The leopard is well camouflaged and takes a small while to spot, the looker having being told to look for something. As with the illusion of camouflage, once it is spotted it is easy to see again.

The difficulty is when walking through the bush, it may just be bush, until it is too late, making the camouflage so much more effective.

Hunters are better at spotting game than the average person. Looking for a tail, an ear or eye, instead of expecting to see the whole beast in one go.

In Hwange Park one time, stopped by the side of the road, looking at a duiker, a car pulled up, the occupants gawking around looking for what was there, then pulled off still looking like 'tards. No idea how to spot something. Most cars zoomed along at speed anyway, 60 kmph or more, when a much slower speed meant you actually see something.
