Everyone can see the tree but you need 20/20 vision and a high IQ to spot the owl in under 7 seconds
YOU boast excellent vision if you can spot the pesky owl in our latest brainteaser.
Hidden in this optical illusion below is a tiny owl lurking between its grey surroundings.
Optical illusions are mind-bending images that challenge your perception and test your observation skills.
The image above shows a bare tree in what appears to be a shed with a mesh cage and open-air roof.
It’s not known where the scene is located but it appears to be a chilly winter day.
If you’re smart enough to spot the nocturnal bird nestled between the grey and brown hues in under seven seconds you’re a genius.
Set your timer, get your eyes engaged, and let’s begin!
Make sure to look inside the shed to reveal the owl.
If you spotted it, you’re officially eagle-eyed and have excellent observation skills.
But don’t panic if you weren’t quick to spot the owl – we have tonnes of other nature-themed pics to keep your eyes going.
Earlier we shared a mischievous animal camouflaged in a photo taken outside in similar-tree themed brainteaser.
Can you spot the animal hiding in the tree bark?
The animal can be easily mistaken for being part of the texture of the tree bark.
Everyone can see the moss growing as it’s a vibrant green colour, while a person’s hand also captivates attention.
Here’s a hint: The animal is almost the same colour as the tree bark.
