YOU could have the eyes of a marksman if you can spot the elusive leopard hiding in this photo.

The big cat proved it is also a master of disguise as well as a high-speed hunter in this mind-boggling image.

At first glance, you may not notice anything more than a ditch covered in dirt alongside a lone tree.

Wildlife photographer Hemant Dabi, who captured the incredible example of camouflage, confessed he couldn't even see the creature himself.

Despite being just 7ft away from the animal in India, the snapper explained he had his eye out for another leopard.

But upon closer inspection, eagle-eyed social media users realised Hemant was not alone in the wilderness.

Among the lumps of dirt and rubble, a leopard has managed to expertly blend in.

Even the most accomplished puzzle solvers were left stumped by the brain teaser that baffled people across the globe.

One illusion enthusiast shared the image to Twitter alongside the caption: "There's a leopard in this photo by Hemant Dabi. Can you find it?"

It turns out that the leopard had extraordinarily camouflaged itself within the piles of dirt – making itself almost untraceable.

Those with perfect perception were able to spot the crafty creature lounging to the left of the tree trunk.

Nestled on top of lumps of dirt, the leopard uses its spots to disguise itself within the muck.

Although some savvy Twitter users claimed to have easily located the leopard, others were left flummoxed.

One wrote: "I would’ve just been attacked by the leopard. I can’t find it!"

Another said: "Someone please pm me the answer. I'm gonna go crazy if I stare at this dirt anymore."

A third joked: "It's right behind me, isn't it? I don't care, I'm not turning around."

And a fourth quipped: "I really tried and I’m disappointed I looked in the comments to find the answer, as I'm not normally a cheetah…"

But don't feel too disheartened if you didn't manage to discover the leopard's hiding spot – because the photographer didn't either.

Hemant told LADbible: "When I took this photo at that time he was giving alarm call on seeing another leopard.

"It was hard to see him.

"I have seen that place many times where he was and you won't believe I was only seven feet away from him and I still couldn't see him.
