@Rockhead,
What does bump mean?


Anyway can you spot the mountain lion?
Talk about camouflage.

Makes you think twice about hiking.

Thanks, everybody, for the recent supply of pics. Too pooped to respond to them all individually.

Hey aspvenom, where the hell is the mountain lion?

There's camouflage, and then there's invisibility.

I first thought this was a practical joke image. I blew up the image in Paint and stumbled on the lion.

The lion is in fact in the image provided! Shocked

@tsarstepan,
Thanks, tsar. I was gonna say that you're a prince among men for doing that. Then I realized that a prince is a demotion for a tsar.

I once googled camouflaged animals to find something to post here. I couldn't see most of them. This camouflage business works.

I just did it again. Some I can see, and some I can't. But I fell in love with this picture:

@ossobuco,
osso, Those are photos? Maybe some is and some ain't. Thanks one way or the other. I love dem boids.

The appearance of some animals defies imagination. IMO, the giant anteater fits in this category:

Sgt. Adam Serella, a narcotics patrol detector dog handler with the 3rd Infantry Division, takes time to bond with his dog, Nero, as local children look on during Operation Clean Sweep conducted in districts throughout Kandahar City, Oct. 3. Serella said he maintains a strong bond with Nero and appreciates always having a companion at his side.

@Barry The Mod,
He looks like a bossy sort of a hound.
