You have a high IQ if you can spot the hidden mountain lion lurking in a tree ready to pounce
YOU might just have a high IQ if you can spot the hidden mountain lion hiding in a tree.
A terrifying image shows the carnivore using its fur to camouflage with its surroundings as it prepares to pounce upon its prey.
A short 10 second clip was uploaded to social media and leaves viewers with next to no time to spot the beast.
It begins with a man videoing himself looking in the direction of the mountain lion.
He quickly turns the camera to show a snowy setting and a large tree straight ahead.
But lurking in that tree is the beast itself.
Yet that does not become apparent until the very last moment when the camera is fully zoomed in on it’s face staring right back at it.
Nonetheless, if you manage to spot the mountain lion, you might just have a high IQ.
However, with the animal camouflaged so well, this is no easy feat for even the sharpest of eyes.
You will really have to focus and put your observational skills to the test to stand any chance.
But that isn’t to say the task is impossible – it can be done.
However, if you are struggling to spot the hidden mountain lion, then here is how you can find it.
It may not be blindingly obvious, but focus your attention on the centre of the tree, where a gap begins to appear.
If you look really closely, then you should be able to make out the mountain lion’s face staring right back at you as it hides in plain sight.
If you fancy your luck at other brain teasers, then try and spot the perfectly camouflaged cat sitting on a carpet in this optical illusion.
