Can you spot the cheetah in this African landscape?

Can you see it? At first glance, this photograph appears to show an ordinary African landscape but take a closer look and there is a cheetah cleverly hidden within the picture.

The brilliantly camouflaged big cat can be seen standing to the right of the tree with its fur perfectly blending into the dry grass, making it almost impossible to spot.

Tour guide Francois Collin from Pretoria, South Africa snapped the photo using his iPhone.

Francois, 49 was guiding some tourists on a game drive in Kruger National Park when he captured the image on his phone.

He told the Daily Mail: "The cheetah stands in the background to the right of a marula tree, very well camouflaged against the dry grasses."

Mr Collin added: "I take random pictures of subjects that I find interesting. I sometimes post them to Facebook. This one is hard to see, hence the tongue-in-cheek caption 'spot the cat'.

"I doubt if I'll capture the same shot again."

Last year, a leopard found the perfect place to hide when it was pictured resting on a yellow-coloured tree.

The big cat climbed the Fever Tree in Serengeti, and was snapped by Prelena Soma Owen, a 47-year-old photographer from Sandton, South Africa.

She said: "It took me quite a while to actually see the leopard on the tree - the camouflage was incredible.

"Leopards are often found sleeping in trees, usually after a meal or just resting.

"They usually take their kill up a tree to stop scavengers getting to it."
