Guesses ranged from five to eight animals in the pictures.

Many viewers found the bear, the bat, the monkey, the dog and the cat.

Others also spotted the squirrel behind the cat on its tail – although some thought it might be a rabbit.

The answer is six animals – and you’re in the top one per cent of the population if you got it right.

Many answered correctly, with one posting: “6 because there is a squirrel behind the cat on its tail and there’s a dog, bat, bear, cat and monkey.”

Meanwhile, when you first glance at this optical illusion, you may not realise it contains multiple triangles.

In fact, the image is made up of several triangles, way more than you might think at first glance, and only a fragment of the population can spot them all.

TikTok personality Hectic Nick shared the illusion and it quickly went viral, racking up 1.6 million views and over 135k comments.

Clad in sunglasses, the mysterious content creator showed the confounding triangle image and told viewers to concentrate.

“Only one percent of people can get this right,” Nick said. “How many triangles are in this image?”
