The image above is known as an optical illusion, meaning there could be other not-so obvious elements to be found.
The challenge here is to spot the hidden snake perfectly blended into the scene.
Everyone can quickly see the dark leaves lying on top of each other.
But only those with 20/20 vision and a high IQ can solve this mind-bending puzzle.
Are you able to find where the dangerous reptile is or will you be left scratching your head?
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the image.
You might wish to start from the top left corner of the picture and work your way down, or maybe do the complete opposite – whatever gives you more confidence!
Another useful tactic is picking an element of the scene – be it a leaf, or a specific branch – and analyse what’s around it.
Did you manage to spot the rattlesnake hidden among the leaves? If so, congratulations!
