There are many different types of pictures that we can appreciate. They sometimes say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I think that the picture we have for you below certainly qualifies.
The reason why it qualifies is because it shows something that is near and dear to our hearts, the ability of animals. When you think about camouflage, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? More than likely, you think of somebody wearing a camouflage outfit.
The fact the matter is, however, many animals have a natural type of camouflage and they can hide in plain sight. They may be right in front of us but unless you know where they are, you
will never be able to see them.
That is true of the leopard in the picture we have for you here. There isn’t a camouflage jacket or anything else that would hide him other than what he already has available.
When you look at the picture, however, it just looks like you are looking at a scene that you might see in any National Park. It’s amazing, but if you look closely enough, there is a leopard hiding in the picture. You can see him because he is perfectly camouflaged but they are there looking at you.
When this was shared online, people were absolutely blown away by the fact that a leopard was hiding in the picture. Automatically, they assume that the leopard is white, but that is not the case.
Like many animals, leopards are able to hide in plain sight. It helps them to get closer to their prey so that they can eat more frequently. In addition, it helps them hide from other animals that may want to do them harm.
The challenge was put out on Reddit for people to find the hidden leopard, and the Internet was absolutely losing its mind. Even though the post was put up six months ago, many people are still looking for the leopard.
Some people thought that it was a trick and that the leopard didn’t actually exist. We are going to point it out for you below, however, just so you know we are telling the truth.
I’d like to give you a warning before you scroll down to see the answer. The leopard is there and it is not some type of trick photography. Once you see where it is located, however, you
will not be able to stop seeing it.
Take a moment to try to find it on your own and then if you are not able to find it, scroll down and see the answer below.
If you find a tick inside your home, here’s what you need to know
Nature is the home to an incredibly versatile array of species, but ticks are definitely one of those that we tend to avoid at all costs.
These tiny arachnids, that are related to spiders, mites, and scorpions, are in fact parasites that survive by attaching themselves to larger animals and feeding on their blood. Humans aren’t spared either. Sadly, these insects carry harmful bacteria that can spread disease to people.
Sadly, tick-borne diseases are at an all-time high, with about 50,000 cases reported each year, and far more going unreported.
There are different types of ticks, and unfortunately, they sometimes find their way to people’s homes. The types most commonly found in homes are the black-legged tick, the dog tick, and the brown dog tick.
- Black-legged Ticks – known as deer ticks, these ticks are typically brown or black in color and have a flattened, oval-shaped body. They are commonly found in wooded areas and can transmit Lyme disease.
- Dog Ticks are larger and can range in color from brown to reddish-brown. They have a tough, shield-shaped body. Dog ticks can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- Brown Dog Ticks are brown in color and have a slender body.
Although the tick season is between March and October, or sometimes longer, we should be wary of this insects all year round. In fact,if beaten by a tick, a person can develop symptoms even after two or three months.
The bite itself isn’t painful and can cause swelling, itchiness, blistering, and bruising. The bad thing is that ticks also carry and transmit severe diseases, most commonly Lyme disease, as well as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis.
Initially, Lyme disease develops as a circular red ‘bull’s eye’ rash around the site of a tick bite. However, not everyone gets a rash and you should also watch out for a flu-like illness with fever, headache, tiredness and general aches and pains.
The best way to prevent being bitten by a tick is to avoid tall grasses and areas where ticks thrive (such as moorlands and woodlands), especially during the warmer months.
In case you do get bitten, you should remove the tick as soon as possible in order to prevent infections.
These are some of the ways of safe removal.
- Use fine-tipped tweezers: Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
- Pull gently: Apply steady upward pressure, being careful not to squeeze or crush the tick. Aim to remove the tick in one smooth motion without twisting or jerking. Twisting or jerking can cause the tick’s head to break off and stay inside the skin, where it can still transmit disease.
- Clean the area: After removing the tick, clean the affected area with soap and water or an antiseptic solution. Monitor the site of the bite for any signs of infection or a rash, and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
If by any chance ticks find their way into your home, take immediate action in order to prevent infestation. Most times, ticks are brought into your home in case they stick on your clothes or onto your pets.
- Isolate the area: If you have identified the presence of ticks in a specific area, keep pets and children away from that space.
- Wear protective gear: Put on gloves and a long-sleeved shirt to protect yourself from potential tick bites.
- Clean the area: Clean the area where you found the tick. If it is in bedding, wash the sheets. Inspect the area to ensure there are no more ticks that are present. Dispose of the tick by either flushing it down the toilet or sealing it in a container or ziplock bag before placing it in the trash.
