You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

[-] EvilBit@lemmy.world 109 points 2 years ago

Is it hiding behind one of the pixels?

It’s insane that this is age-restricted now.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Yah, I don’t have a google account so I can’t see it hahaha

[-] grubberfly@mander.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

This version is not age-restricted. Plus it's an Invidious link that AFAIK jumps over those.

Enjoy you JPEGs!

SO MUCH LOVE

[-] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Seen it before, still clicked. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 58 points 2 years ago

Maybe I could see it if you jpeged it further?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 2 years ago

I honestly think it helps with this one

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 54 points 2 years ago

It’s just a snow leopard, you don’t need to censor it with all that blur.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago

In my defense, my pattern recognition works a lot better with depth perception and movement

[-] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

With ambush predators, perceiving them by movement is usually too late.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Or more than 2 PPI

Protip: Snow-leopard is not white

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Dirt leopard

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

I've seen this picture a couple of times, and I remember where he is. Easy, he's... uh... errr...

Damn.

From https://www.escape.com.au/news/snow-leopard-perfectly-camouflaged-in-mountain-terrain-baffles-the-internet/news-story/bcc5e99d35292787175a13f489ebd7aa. Brought to you by reporters copying things of reddit, but at least escape didn't butcher the image, unlike boredpanda.

The photographer's website wouldn't load for me, so I don't know if it has a better quality available.

Saw it too late. Am lunch.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

In the real world there are way more pixels.

This is a shitty image.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

Gave nose boop. Am dinner.

[-] flora_explora@beehaw.org 12 points 2 years ago

Didn't see it for a good while and was thinking that this was some commentary on why hardly any snow leopards are around anymore because of mass extinctions, habitat loss and climate change...

[-] callyral@pawb.social 10 points 2 years ago

in my defense, i did not know what a snow leopard was and thought it was white like a polar bear

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 2 years ago

Find the kitty, pet the kitty.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Horrid Vision Simulator is coming along nicely, it's perfectly blurry

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I thought the point was the whole thing was actually tiny, just a handful of snow and small isicles. Then I saw the leopard.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Is the snow leopard a scientician?
