Can You Spot All The Animals In This Optical Illusion?

June 4, 2024 Malorie Thompson

Optical illusions can bring out the competitive side in some people. After all, most people want to feel smart enough to solve the illusion or brain teaser and figure out the correct answer.

Of course, there are other people who are more than happy to simply be given the answer without putting in the effort as well.

Optical illusions and brain teasers have become quite popular on TikTok and there are a mix of people who try their hardest to solve them and those who go to the comments for answers.

One of the latest illusions to go viral is an image with a black shape with a tan background. The goal? To find all the animals hidden in the image!

TikTok user Rana Arshad (@rana_illusions) shared a video of the illusion and challenged users: "Can you spot all the animals in this image?"

“Look closely, because this is kind of tricky. If you somehow got it, let me know how many there were in the comments," he added.

People in the comments were quick to throw out their guesses, with many people suggesting numbers ranging from five animals to eight animals. Most people found the bear, the monkey, the cat, the dog, and the bat.

However, others spotted a sixth animal. Can you find it?

There's allegedly a squirrel hiding behind the cat on its tail! Some people questioned if the squirrel was really a hidden animal or not, and others guessed it was a rabbit.
