The picture shows a gaggle of talkative dragons going about their daily business.
But, somewhere there are three very different creatures and it’s your job to spot them before the timer runs out.
The illusion is made especially difficult as the dragons and crocodiles share the same shade of green and have a very similar appearance.

Or, see if you have the eyes of a predator and spot the sneaky animal concealed within the carefully sketched image.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.

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.”
