Everyone can see the tent but you need 20/20 vision to spot the owl in under 7 seconds – can you solve the brainteaser?
THIS mind-boggling optical illusion has puzzle fanatics stumped and struggling to find the answer – but do you have what it takes?
Everyone can see the cosy tent but if you can spot the hidden owl in just seven seconds then your eyes are as sharp as a bird of prey.
The picture shows a beautiful camping spot near a blue lake which sits in front of mountains in the distance.
A fire has been lit and is warming a pot of water that hangs above on a large stick.
At first the only nature in the picture appears to be birds flying in the sky.
But, somewhere, there’s a crafty owl and it’s your job to find him before it’s too late.
The illusion is made especially difficult as their are many things that will distract your eyes from finding the answer.
Need a hint? Look to the tree tops.
Study each section of the image carefully and you should be able to spot the bothersome bird.
Meanwhile, why not try some other optical illusions while you scroll?

Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”
And according to ZenBuisness: “These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.”
The owl can be found perched on a branch high up in the trees on the right side of the screen.
