You could have 20/20 vision if you can spot the perfectly camouflaged snake in the rainforest in under seven seconds
IF you think you have perfect 20/20 vision try and spot the sneaky creature hiding in this image in a speedy seven seconds.
The viral brainteaser has left people scratching their heads trying to spot the perfectly camouflaged snake in the incredible optical illusion.
If you can see the serpent in under seven seconds you have eyes like a hungry hawk.
The mind-boggling artwork shows a green rainforest full of trees, branches, parrots and one hidden snake.
A person with great vision should be able to quickly track down the slivering animal and catch it before it’s too late.
But for a brainteaser that seems so easy the excellent camo skinned snake cheekily blends in within the greenery and similar looking branches.
If you can solve the optical illusion, you could be a top snake hunter with your clever problem-solving brain.
The art features eight parrots perched on trees surrounded by vines and leaves in the rainforest.
In the initial glance at the photo there is no chance a snake lies within it but the deeper you search the quicker it appears.
Several striking similarities between the snake and the vines make this near impossible for the average person.
The tiny snake is hidden in the photo but with so much else going on you’re bound to run out of time as the flamboyant parrots will distract you and make you slow.
Multiple different shades of green sneakily put you off and waste your time searching through the leaves instead of looking at the other areas in the image.
This makes it so hard to find the snake in under seven seconds as you need to search through it super-fast.
Studies have shown, people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
And according to ZenBuisness: “These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.”
The testing brainteaser looks like a painting made by a great children’s book illustrator but actually it’s from serial illusion maker Jagran Josh, who loves testing its fans detective skills.
The photo left many eager to find the snake but several struggled due to shear number of distractions.
In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to spot it within seconds and leave themselves enough time to enjoy the image.
