Optical illusions are images or scenes that make the eyes and brain to see something that is not immediately obvious. They are not just fun – they also help us understand how human perception works and can even train the brain to concentrate better.
One such smart illusion is for all the right reasons viral. The small picnic table filled with peanuts is attached to the tree and it looks like a quiet small snack for squirrels. But hidden in the eyes is a twist: among the peanuts is actually a real squirrel, almost invisible to an untrained eye.
Call? Seeing squirrels without hints. Many people spent several minutes staring at the picture, convinced that there is no animal at all. Its color mixes so perfectly with the table and peanuts that it almost disappears in the scene.
Take a minute or two – can you find it?
Challenge time: 60 seconds – Set the timer and look closely at the picnic table. Not only scan – focus on shapes and shadows.
Here is the solution in simple words:
The squirrel sits directly on the picnic table, pointing to the side. His head is close to the center, just below the umbrella. What makes it difficult to see is that his hair is almost the same color as peanuts and table. His tails scream behind him and look like part of the background.
It is a smart reminder that what you are looking for is sometimes hidden in sight.
