This serval encounter was pretty amusing — like a little kid holding his hands in front of his face thinking that we couldn’t see him — those blades of grass, not quite enough to hide behind. Eventually, he realized that we could, in fact, see him so he slowly got up from his crouching position, took a few cautious steps, and then ran away into the vast grasslands of the Masai Mara in Kenya. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/80th of a second.
I once spotted a deer “hiding” behind a tree trunk which maybe measured a foot in diameter. The deer’s east & west ends were clearly visible. It was hilarious!
