Only 1% Of The People Manage To See The Animal In This Picture, Are You One Of Them?

Not all internet tests are about trickery. Some of them are sincerely about testing the different abilities of the viewers. Among them, there are intelligence tests that make an interesting claim. They claim to be able to determine the viewer’s IQ based on their ability to decode pictures. Albeit, they’re really just a bit of fun, and with solving them comes bragging rights.

Today we bring one such test to you. The one who designed this test apparently says that only 1 out of every 100 people are able to see through it. Sounds a bit daunting, doesn’t it? However, that’s no reason to back down from it. So let’s get to it!

The Animal In The Picture

Take a look at this picture:

Now, at first glance, it looks like several zigzagging lines of black on a white background. They make for a very mesmerizing pattern. But keep looking at the image. Does it seem like the lines are moving?

Well, that’s only a part of the challenge of this picture. There is actually an animal hiding inside that picture. So, can you spot it?

A lot of people have tried and failed to see the animal. However, here’s a hint for you: try looking at it while squinting.

If you look at the picture long enough while squinting, you should be able to clearly see the animal. It has been the case for the majority of viewers who failed at first.

Of course, the reason why only specific people get it on their first try is that the picture is an impressive optical illusion! That’s where the IQ test comes in – intelligent people can figure out the trick with just one glance! Of course, they also usually have trained eyesight that helps them decode the trick behind an optical illusion.

However, if you still have not been able to see the image, here is another method you can try: focus on the image after flipping it horizontally. Here, we have rotated it for you:
