Everyone can see the sculpture but you have 20/20 vision if you spot the black snake hidden in the park in 20 seconds
DON’T let the snake in this outdoor optical illusion slither away from you.
The park scene is the ideal place for the reptile to blend in with its surroundings, but you can try your luck at outsmarting him.
Get a move on it, because time is ticking to find the snake in the illusion posted by Reddit user Soft_lingonberry4924.
You have 20 seconds to spot the slimy critter.
At first, it’s hard to notice anything but the large sculpture featuring long, black vines and flowers over large rocks.
Our snake friend is trying his best to fool predators in this brainteaser, but don’t let him trick you.
Keep scanning the scene.
Move your eyes around the piece of modern art.
He’s hiding somewhere – just look towards the middle rock.
If you shift your gaze to the right, you will see something long and black.
It might be hard to distinguish sculpture from snake, but the moving object is indeed the creature.
Got it? Congrats – you’ve knocked it out of the park.
You can now declare perfect vision victory.
You have certainly proven your sharp attention to detail, as this was a hard one.
As snakes are “stealth hunters” according to the Journal of Ecosystem and Ecography, it’s no wonder that the snake is able to hide so easily.
Whether it’s squirming their way through tropical or desert terrain, they are experts at avoiding being spotted.
MORE BRAINTEASER
If you’re ready to try another teaser, you can stay outdoors but shift your focus to finding a larger animal.
This time, a bobcat is trying to blend in among large rocks with brush up above an empty road.
You have just 15 seconds to try and spot the creature so keep looking on all sides.
Use those eye muscles to find the animal who is trying his best to stay out of sight.
Here’s a clue – look towards the top of the scene.
There he is hiding behind a rock and a large bush.
Time’s up – good job if you got him in record time.
