One of the rarest big cats in the world is hiding in this picture – can you see it?

ONE of the rarest big cats in the world is hiding in this picture – and its excellent camouflage shows why there are hopes for the survival of its species.

There are only 120 Amur – or Siberian – leopards living in the wild in their natural habitat in eastern Russia.

But can you spot the endangered cat?

The rare animal was snapped at the Land of the Leopard Nature Reserve, a national park set up by the Kremlin to save this species, The Siberian Times reported.

At the last count, there were only 86 adults and 21 adolescents known to be living in the wild.

More are in zoos around the world, but decades of poaching in the Soviet era led the species to virtual extinction as a wild animal.

A century ago, this big cat roamed the Korean peninsula, several provinces of China, as well as regions in eastern Russia.

Today they are virtually restricted to Russia’s Primorsky region.

The national park also protects endangered Amur tigers, the world’s largest big cat, and there are populations of brown and back bears.
