You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot the rattlesnake that is expertly hidden in the brush in under 18 seconds
A SNAKE has cleverly hidden itself in the brush, and only those with X-ray vision will be able to find it.
Locating the creature in under 18 seconds could mean you have a sharper eye than most.
Redditor Equivalent_turn8115 posted the puzzle on the social media platform and challenged users to “find the timber rattlesnake.”
They explained that their spouse was working in the area and within striking range of the poisonous creature.
“[My] wife almost found it the hard way cutting brush with a machete,” they wrote.
The Redditor said she called them over, but they couldn’t spot the serpent without her pointing it out.
They also pointed out that it had nine rattles on its tail — but “never made a sound.”
The original poster was shocked by the near miss and grateful for his wife’s good luck.
“They are molting this time of year, which makes it even more amazing she didn’t get tagged,” they said.
WHERE’S THE SNAKE?
The dangerous critter is hard to spot, blending in well with its surroundings.
If you’re still having trouble finding it, divert your attention to the top of the photo.
Lower your focus towards the middle of the picture.

READY FOR MORE?
If one optical illusion wasn’t enough, there is a less dangerous critter to look out for.
A frog is cleverly hidden outside, but spotting it may take a sharp wit and excellent vision.
In a nighttime scene, the grass and leaves are withered and brown.
However, there is life hiding patiently in the picture.
The frog is concealed so well that you should pat yourself on the back if you can find it in under eight seconds.
If you’ve been staring a while and can’t locate it, fear not, it’s there.
Divert your focus to the right side of the photograph.
The frog is sitting on the bottom right side of the picture, camouflaged by foliage.
