Others also managed to see past the reptile’s attempts at disguise and found him lurking in the middle of the photo.

Mark confirmed that the reptile was a copperhead – which are renowned for their abilities to camouflage in plain sight.

It comes as avid snake enthusiast Isaiah, 18, described how cooperheads “tend to keep to themselves when possible" as they hide in the dark.

After sharing footage of a snake online he said: "When human encounters do occur the best way not to get bitten is to just leave them alone."

He added: "I’m experienced in handling snakes and I always act accordingly when I come across venomous or potentially dangerous ones, and the individual in this video was not super defensive."

The southern copperhead has a painful bite but almost never fatal to humans.

Copperheads give no warning signs and strike almost immediately if they feel threatened.

They have hemotoxic venom, which means that a copperhead bite results in temporary tissue damage in the immediate area of the bite.

Meanwhile, an owl has perfectly blended into a tree branch – making it hard to see.

While this image left Redditors baffled trying to find how many snakes are hiding in it.

Plus, a photograph shows just how good at camouflaging the snow leopard is - with the big cat seamlessly blending in with its surroundings.
