This puzzle challenges the viewer to spot the bear hidden in the forest scene.

The bear is concealed somewhere in this picturesque photo, designed to test your perception skills.

The image features a log cabin surrounded by many tall trees deep in the woodland. However, hiding within the stunning location is a cute and cuddly animal.

One might think the bear could be crawling along the forest floor or taking a nap after a hard day's hunting. But that's not the case.

So, can you spot it?

Don't look at the ground; look at the branches of the trees.

Situated just above the chimney of the lodge, the outline of the bear can be seen clinging to the twigs.

Yes, it's not a real bear; it's a caricature of the creature.

If you did spot it, give yourself a pat on the back.

How do optical illusions work?

For centuries, people around the world have been fascinated with optical illusions. The notion that your eyes can trick you into seeing something that¡¯s not really there is mind-blowing.

It takes our eyes and brain about one-tenth of a second to see, transmit, and process an image. Our brains use lots of tools to compile images so quickly. Noting surrounding contrast, defining borders, and even flat-out guessing what should be there to fill in any gaps. Usually, these shortcuts work great and serve us well! But every now and then, they fail us.

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 receive 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.

Think of it this way: 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.

While some optical illusions trick us into seeing motion, others trick our brains into perceiving colours or shades that are not visibly present.
