Only people with the sharp eyes of a top hunter can find the 16 tigers hiding in this illusion in just 9 seconds

THIS is the tropical teaser that tests your eyesight and mental agility.

Everyone can spot the family of four tigers perched in the middle of the jungle, but there are in fact 16 hidden in the scene.

Can you see all 16 tigers in this picture?[/caption]

Only people with cat-like eyes of a top hunter will be able to spot them all in the 9-second time limit – so get scanning!

This particular teaser tests your creative thinking as well as your eyesight, because a lot of the tigers are not as you might expect.

Have a careful look at the entire scene to try and spot the 12 more that are hidden amongst the colours.

The two big tigers in the middle seem to have spotted something – but have you?

This tropical scene might remind you of watching The Jungle Book as a child.

Any minute you might expect Baloo the bear to run round the corner with a prickly pear.

Have you spotted all of the tigers yet?

If not, don’t worry – here’s a clue.

Tigers like to hide in plants – of all kinds.

To spot them all, you can’t just look for the classic orange and black stripes.

You have to think a bit more outside the box.
