Everyone can see the tree but you have 20/20 vision if you can identify the animals camouflaged in the bark in 7 seconds
THE wonders of nature will have you scratching your head in this brain teaser.
Everyone can see the tree, but can you identify the animals camouflaged in the bark?
You might wonder if there is any wildlife at all because these guys are impossible to see and this is an optical illusion too far.
We promise they are there, hiding in plain sight, but there is no doubt this is a tricky task.
Set the timer and start searching because you only have seven seconds to complete this challenge.
Should you succeed in this mission, congratulate yourself.
It means you have 20/20 vision and a high level of visual acuity.
The setting is a forest and a gnarly tree trunk is surrounded by lush vegetation.
Some animals are hiding on the tree trunk, blending seamlessly into the background.
Give yourself a few moments to attune your eyes to the image.
Look for any anomalies in shape and color that might give these animals away.
Camouflage is the first stage of defense for many creatures in the wild.
It protects them from predators further up the food chain.
We can give you a clue: you are searching for a flying mammal.
Has that helped? How about a cryptic clue this time? They are often associated with the fictional character Dracula.
The furtive creatures are bats. Or, to be more exact, a cauldron of bats, the collective noun for a group of these flying mammals.
Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.
- They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
- By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
- Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.
- Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
In total 12 are blending into the tree, seemingly staring directly at the camera.
If you are still struggling, strain your eyes at the center of the trunk.
They are positioned vertically. If you feel beaten by this challenge, we have circled several of them for you in the answer below.
But don’t be disheartened if you can’t find them. There is a chance to redeem yourself with another game.
We have plenty of brainteasers to choose from, from the easy to the challenging.
There is something to suit all ages, abilities, and levels of patience.
We’re sticking to the wildlife theme with the next one, featuring a bug.
Everyone can see the branch but can you see the camouflaged creepy crawly in under ten seconds?
If you succeed, then well done because it means you have 20/20 vision.
But this guy is hard to find making your mission even more difficult and infuriating.
So, take a deep breath, set the timer, and start searching for the hidden bug.
We can give you your first clue, however. We can reveal you are searching for a gnophos caterpillar, otherwise known as an inchworm.
Focus your attention on the branch on the right, pointing downwards.
Can you see it yet? Congratulations if you beat the clock and found the caterpillar.
If you were beaten, we have the answer for you below. This was a hard task.
