Those slithery slimy creatures are the worst. You never know when one might creep up out of nowhere in the wild. Helen, a PhD student from Florida, who studies snakes, shared a picture on Twitter that is living proof that snakes are the slyest creatures on earth. So brilliant is the camouflage that the internet is going crazy trying to spot the snake among the dry leaves in the picture. 

Take a look at the picture. Can you see the snake? 

Received this from a fellow HERper this morning. No caption needed, the task was implied: "can you spot the snake?" ? pic.twitter.com/oVkjOm8ufy

Look closely. You will not be given second chances if you are out in the wild, trekking in the rough. Still no sign? Here’s a hint:

No? That’s because we are messing with you – it’s a wrong hint. Here’s the correct one.

Now you see? There’s no escaping from that one! 

Another Twitter user shared this picture that is even creepy. Can you spot the snake in this one?

We are never going to a hike in the woods again. If you were able to spot the snake in the first picture, you will probably hold up well in the wild. This still doesn’t mean you are some wild life junkie and can walk through a jungle like it’s cakewalk – you can never win against the wild, bro.
