YOU could have 20/20 vision if you were able to spot a mountain lion ready to pounce on a moose in less than 30 seconds.
The big cat is well camouflaged in the rocky undergrowth in this enigmatic image taken at the Rio Mora National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shared a confusing photo showing a moose surrounded by trees and rock formations.
While moose are easy to spot, a prowling mountain lion is far more difficult.
A wildlife camera captured the image in late 2019, and the park shared it on Facebook last year – challenging followers to find the hidden animal.
However, the image quickly began to confuse online users who could not spot the camouflaged lion.
Park volunteer Dale Erz found the dangerous animal only after noticing the predator in a later photo.
So he went back to check the earlier photo and discovered a big cat hiding in the rocks.
Did you manage to find the sneaky kitty?
If you need a clue, follow the park’s advice: “Start looking at the base of the tree on the far right of the picture.
“Move a little left and down. The cougar is hidden in the grass.”
If you are really confused, scroll down for the answer.
