Optical illusions and brain teasers have become insanely popular on social media. Nothing feels more satisfying than being able to figure out how the mind-bogglers work.
Today, we have an?optical illusion?that challenges viewers to spot the ostrich among a herd of llamas.?
The puzzling picture features some Llamas on a plateau covered with shrubs and stunted grass. But the South American camelids are not alone. They have a large bird friend with them, one that is the tallest and heaviest on the planet.
Besides the llamas, there is an ostrich in the frame - but it is not easy to spot.
Can you spot it?
If not, try looking closely at the back of the llama in front.
There you go. The bird's long neck, which is synonymous with its features, appears right behind the llama in front but at quite a distance. The position of the bird is such that its feather tone matches the llama's brown patch, making it tricky to spot.?
Optical illusions?reveal how one's brain works, and there are many claims about how they decode?personality?types, whether you are left-brained/right-brained, etc.? ?
Simply put, when you look at something, what?you are really seeing?is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye. This converts the light into electrical impulses that your brain can turn into an image.?
The process only takes about a tenth of a second but your eyes received a constant stream of light, and a significant amount of information, which is why it is really difficult for your brain to focus on everything at once.?
To put it in layman's terms - your brain takes shortcuts, further simplifying what you see to help you concentrate on what is required. This?helps compensate for your brain¡¯s tenth-of-a-second processing lag. This trait actually helped early humans survive encounters with fast predators.?
