It’s like a “Where’s Wally?” on speed.
Social media users’ eyes are pinwheeling over this mind-blowing optical illusion in which puzzlers are challenged to find all six animals, the New York Post reports.
The visual challenge was first published on the BhaviniOnline brain-teaser site earlier this month — but it is currently going viral as users wrack their brains trying to solve it: “Can you find the six animals hidden in the picture?” reads the description to this “I Spy” speed round.

So what are the answers?
Only 17 per cent of people can locate all the camouflaged creatures — while one could potentially break the world record by finding all six in under six seconds, according to The Sun.
On its face, the drawing is a standard landscape that features a smorgasbord of mountains, grassland, trees and various shrubbery.
However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the picture is hiding six critters.
They include a gray camel camouflaged against the mountains, a crocodile on the left tree with bark for scales, a sepia-tone deer concealed against both a tree and grass, a literal snake in the grass, and a butterfly in the flower patch.
Perhaps trickiest to spot is the green rabbit, which is hiding in the leaves of the right-side tree, directly above the camel’s head.
This sight safari isn’t the only animal-based illusion giving social media users agita.
Puzzle-lovers have been left frustrated by another baffling brain teaser that challenges them to find the blue-eyed fox in record time.
Meanwhile, apparently only the top 1 per cent of people can find all the animals in this mind-bending illustration of a silhouetted bear.
