Everyone can see the zig zag lines – but only those in the top 1% can see the image hidden in this optical illusion

VERY few puzzlers can see the animal hidden in this monochromatic chevron pattern.

And if you can solve the puzzle in less than eight seconds, you may have the perfect 20/20 vision and a really high IQ.

Can you spot the hidden animal in between the pattern?

The image shows a mind-boggling illusion that confuses the eyes.

Grab a timer, set it to eight seconds, and prove your puzzle-solving skills.

Brainteasers are purposefully designed to trick our vision and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.

They are widely regarded as helping improve our attention spans, concentration, and overall cognitive abilities.

Brainteasers where you have to find an image within an image aid your brain’s ability to interpret ambiguity.

Although it may seem like an ordinary image, this is no easy feat, and it takes the average person over a minute to find it.

However, before you start can you find the heart hidden among the elephants?

Or, give this one a try and spot the cheeky chick hiding among the ducks.

Also, you could be crowned with perfect 20/20 vision if you can spot the three rabbits hiding in a tree in this mind-boggling illusion in under 15 seconds.
