Okay I’m sure it’s much easier to recognise it irl with depth perception
And ESPECIALLY without JPG compression™

Yeah, and the scale of the picture itself is hard to determine. You don’t know how big the thing you’re looking at is, so you don’t know if you’re supposed to see just a paw, the entire creature, etc.

Right under the snow patch on the top you can see the face.

Just beside the perfectly focused rock wall on the left, yes, it's that blurred thing

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's brown, right below the big snow bank at the top

It's staring right at the camera between a jumble of compressed jpeg artifacts.

One of which seems to have eaten a quarter of its head. Very impressive how they have evolved to take advantage of JPEG compression for camouflage!

Right in the middle of the picture, near the rock. I had to zoom in to find it 😅
