THOSE who can find the groundhog in this optical illusion are considered highly intelligent and have great vision.
The rodent blends in with the rocky embankment setting, making this puzzle even more challenging.
At first glance, viewers of this optical illusion may notice a rocky embankment nestled alongside a house, a fence, trees, and grass.
However, there is another important detail in the photos that can be easy to miss.
Those who can spot the groundhog hiding in the rocky embankment in less than 30 seconds have a good eye and a high IQ.
In July 2023, a Reddit user started a wire titled “Find the Groundhog.”
Other users took to the comments as they tried to resolve the illusion.
When someone revealed that they found the groundhog, the original poster responded: “I got this a few years ago and knew it was hidden but I actually had to look for it a bit to remember, heh.”
One confused user asked: “Ummm… what’s in the second rocky crevice on the left?”
The OP responded, “Nothing that I know of? What do you see?
“Edit – oh, I think it’s kind of a leftover tree trunk, if I’m looking at the same thing.”
Another participant who was unable to locate the groundhog asked the OP for some tips.
“You’re going to have to zoom. He’s more centered than cornered,” the OP responded.
“Also on my phone and I don’t know how to block that for other people, so I apologize.”
As the Reddit OP revealed, the groundhog is in the center of the photo.
It is nestled between some rocks at the bottom of the embankment.
