Leopard mums relaxing. INDIA CAN YOU spot the elusive leopards spotted by a British photographer hiding in plain sight in the hills around Rajasthan, India? Known as Leopard Hills, surrounded by the Pali district in Rajasthan, this place is home to up to 100 leopards who are experts at hiding. The images show the magnificent cats lounging on the hills, camouflaged perfectly by the texture of the hills and surrounding terrain. Another image also shows two of the cutest cubs peeking out of their cave and looking directly at the photographer. These beautiful images were snapped by British wildlife photographer Stuart Benson (66) from Anglesey, Wales. “We had been on the lookout for leopards since dawn, and after driving around for a few hours, we were able to locate them," he said. “The leopards were camouflaged so brilliantly within the rocks that we were only able to spot them when they started to move, even though they were in our direct line of sight. “Once we had located them, we feared they were moving off before we could get a proper snap, but two of them stayed around. “There were three females and two cubs initially, and one adult female moved away. “One cub popped its head out from the cave, and after a few more minutes, the second cub peeped out from behind a rock. “Even though we had located them, it was difficult for us to spot them through the lens because they would just disappear into their surroundings. “We were astonished that our guide was able to spot these beautiful animals given how well camouflaged they were and how difficult they were to see. They were truly experts.” ENDs
