THIS mind-bending optical illusion has puzzle fanatics stumped and struggling to find the answer – but do you have what it takes?
What you notice first in the puzzle will reveal whether you are a perceptive or gullible person.
Everyone can see the imposing penguin against a blue background.
It’s unclear what the penguin is doing, but it has a black dot in the center of its belly.
But what is also depicted in this complex illusion is a man – what do you see first?
It may seem a little scary at first, but the secret is to carefully examine the water bird and you will soon see the head of a man.
In the meantime, why not try other optical illusions while you scroll?
Test your brain power and solve the questions in this test to reveal if you have a high IQ.
Or see if you have predator eyes and spot the sneaky animal hiding in the carefully sketched image.
The arctic bird is certainly easier to spot, but if you tilt your head slightly to the right, you’ll see a man with a strong resemblance to Elvis Presley.
The depression on the penguin’s belly serves as a ridge for a very flat nose.
And the creature’s black head looks like a forelock.
