Lions possess the ability to blend in with the dry, low-lying grasses of the African savanna, a trait that allows them to easily sneak up on prey.
In this case, however, tourists at Kruger National Park in South Africa managed to spot a lone lion because it was walking through the grass.
“Whilst driving along slowly, we noticed a movement that caught our eye as she [the lion] was walking along through the grass,” Peter Hall explained to USA Today/For The Win Outdoors.
“We stopped there and I took that photo once she had stopped walking for a while and was just sitting there watching us. With a long lens, I could get a decent pic. She was at least 50 meters [165 feet] away. But I liked the way she blended so perfectly into the surrounding landscape of the Central Kruger Park, near Tshokwane.”
Hall is a professional artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He often incorporates wildlife into his beautiful work.
Hall posted the image on the private Facebook page called SANParks – Kruger National Park, asking “can you see her?”
One commenter said she saw a lion face made by the rocks.
“It felt a bit like a ‘Where’s Wally’ page, but I finally spotted her,” another wrote.
Others wrote:
“It took a little while to spot her. Well done, amazing photo.”
“So well camouflaged.”
