Optical illusions have been fascinating to us, testing our eyes and observing ability. Optical illusions are these brain-twisting riddles that fool our minds and lead us to believe otherwise of what we see. From concealed objects to twisted angles, optical illusions test our minds and refine our observing abilities to detect more subtle details. If you enjoy testing your observing ability, we have a challenge for you.
Another optical illusion is going viral on social media, with everyone puzzled and trying to solve it. Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user, the image contains a stunningly coloured wildlife scene. At first glance, the subject of the painting appears to be a fox, identifiable by its reddish-orange fur and bushy end. The fox is displaying itself making a getaway with a white duck clutched in its jaws and can be seen as appearing to bolt. There are another two ducks present and appear very frightened as they watch on as events transpire.

But more is in this scene than the naked eye can see. Concealed within this elaborately painted scene is a dog, well hidden in the scene. Your mission? Find the deceptively hidden dog in only 7 seconds! This challenge demands keen vision and flawless attention to detail because the concealed dog is well camouflaged so it is virtually impossible to see from the rest of the image
