Do you ever wonder how your intellect compares to those around you?
Optical illusions are one way that you can really put your levels of perceptiveness to the test.
They traditionally use colour, light and patterns to create images that can on first glance be deceptive or misleading to our brains.
The information gathered by the eye is then processed by the brain, creating a perception that does not match the true image.
They can trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real.
And by challenging yourself to figure out these mind-bending images you can see just how nimble your brain is.
This elephant image is one taken from social media platform Pinterest that features a jungle scene. It was also featured in a video by TikTok user Hectic Nick and went viral, racking up more than 6 million views on the platform.
In the picture a rifle-wielding hunter can be seen searching the jungle, stalking carefully to avoid any potential dangers – a dangerous animal perhaps? But he needn’t fear…
In amongst the thick shrubbery there is a hidden elephant – and your task is to try and locate it in under 12 seconds…
Only those with exceptional observation skills can spot it as it’s so well camouflaged in amongst the leaves, trees and greenery.
If you are struggling to find it you might want to try flipping the picture and see if you can spot it.
Did you manage to find it? If so, congratulations! You can find many more optical illusions to try out here.
