The clock is ticking, can you find them before it’s too late?

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.”
If you scroll down to see the solution solved, you’ll note that the jogger changes into a blue and purple coloured tank top.
The rabbit on the path with him has lost a tail, while the rabbit that was perched on the greenery beside him has disappeared.
Also missing from the second image is the red mushroom.
Lastly, the eagle-eyed among you will have spotted that the woodland canopy has halved in size at the top left of the picture.
But the foliage is an easy miss as it’s placed right above the jogger’s head.
And if you really want a challenge, try your hand at this teaser to see if your critical thinking skills are top-tier.
