      I totally agree, the lack of pixels also contributes

    I say it should be illegal to incorporate the word “snow” in the names of things that are not white.

      Many animals that live in temperate climates change colors every year.

      It’s not the case of this one. I just wanted to point that many do :)

      (Now, seriously, gray and white are probably a very good disguise in places where the snow doesn’t take over everything all the time.)

      They live in areas that are covered by snow for at least part of the year, such as the Himalayas, Tibet and parts of Central Asia and Mongolia. The animal itself can vary in colour from cream to grey or tan.

    To be fair, the (apparently) huge icicles throw off the sense of scale.

    I think the pink ones didn’t fare so well in evolutionary terms.

    Squint, it’ll be easier.

    Also, while impressive, I find this, if taken in the context of a test about a species’ ability to camouflage, as not very realistic idk about other species but human eyes primarily work woth contrast and movement. So much so, that the moving dot that will be the leopard will be caught by our peripheral vision just as easily as a pink panther.
