You could have a top IQ if you can spot the sneaky fox ready to pounce in five seconds

YOU could have a top IQ if you can spot the sneaky fox ready to pounce before it’s too late.

The cunning creature has concealed itself somewhere in this forest scene, but you only have five seconds to track it down.

Some may suspect a fox would stick out from its hiding spot thanks to its big bushy tail and pointy ears.

But the furry animals are in fact a master of disguise, capable of creeping up on their targets before using their pouncing technique.

While hunting, foxes crouch down to blend in among the terrain before using their hind legs to propel their leap onto their prey.

Their excellent eyesight, hearing, smell – and razor sharp teeth – make the crafty creature a formidable opponent.

So, after getting the lowdown on how a fox catches its lunch, can you spot the animal lurking somewhere in this brain teaser?

Despite having an array of rocks to climb upon, the fox has opted for a more clandestine vantage point to monitor its prey.

Nestled in between the dense bushes on the left side, the beast can be seen peering through the greenery – and straight at you.
