Think you're good at hide and seek? Then think again, because as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, these wild animals are the absolute champions when it comes to going undetected. You'll never be able to beat these animals' camouflage! It's the simple fact that they have the biological advantage of blending in, also called mimicry, and this allows these smart animals to disappear into their environment to avoid being eaten by predators.

Caterpillars that resemble leaves and geckos the color of bark to spiders that look like sand and stick insects that look like, well, sticks - aren't they truly amazing animals? These camouflage masters will confound and amaze you...but only if you can spot the animal mimicry virtuosos!

Looking at this I wondered if someone had cruelly put in a random animal-free picture just to make us all cross-eyed trying to see the invisible animal...!

It took me too long to realize where it was. If I was there at that moment, I would've been eaten by it for sure! Well done, leopard

I see a rock that looks like a kangaroo, but no leopard...

you must be Anne Madag the pornstar, so, what to you say about showing your pussy, a*s, and tits. I know you want to have sex, so want to have sex with me while were here together?

Snow Leopards aren't the best camouflaged animals, this photo is just taken very far away so it's not easy to see.
