Can you spot the jaguar hiding at the Oakland Zoo?

The Oakland Zoo recently acquired a female jaguar in the hope that she will develop a "love connection" with its resident male.

Their names are Emma and Lucha, and an update on their progress is forthcoming.

In a tease to this effect, the zoo on Friday shared an image of a camouflaged Lucha, an 11-year-old male, and asked followers:

"Lucha the jaguar is spotted… but can you spot him in this pic?"

Many in the comments section claimed to have spotted Lucha at first or second glance.

But for others it took a while, perhaps, because there’s a spot in middle of the image that looks as though it could be hiding Lucha.

Some used the comment section to inquire further about the courtship between Emma and Lucha.

The most likely hiding place, of course, is the base of the tree.
