You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the chameleon camouflaged in the scene

CHAMELEONS famously change the color and pattern of their skin to blend in with their surroundings.

If you’re able to spot the lizard hidden against the moss-covered tree bark, then you might have the eyes of a hawk.

Chameleons can effectively disguise themselves in multiple settings by expanding or contracting their skin cells.

These cells contain an array of different pigments that allow the reptile to appear as though it’s changing color.

A photographer snapped a photo of a chameleon that had adapted its color to match the bright green of the tree bark.

Chameleons camouflage themselves from predators such as birds and snakes, as well as their own prey.

According to All You Need Is Biology, the lizards have been known to disguise themselves most effectively when hiding from birds, as the predators have great perception of shapes and colors.

So if you can spot the hidden reptile, then you really will have the eyes of a hawk.

At first, it may be difficult to locate the chameleon, but upon closer inspection, it can be found in the center of the image.

If you want to tease your brain even more, there is an owl hiding in plain sight in this woodland image.

You can also try your hand at locating the cat hidden in this optical illusion.

And if you want another challenge, there is a real-life cat hidden in this kitchen scene.
