Can you spot the hidden animals in the tree?
You might be wondering if there is any wildlife at all because these guys are hard to see and this is an optical illusion too far.
We promise they are there, hiding in plain sight, but there is no doubt that this is a tall order.
Even if you can spot them, can you figure out what they are?
Set your timer and start searching because you only have seven seconds to complete this challenge.
If you succeed in this mission, congratulate yourself.
The setting is a forest, and the gnarled trunk is surrounded by lush vegetation.
Some animals hide on the trunk, imperceptibly blending into the background.
Give yourself a few moments to align your eyes with the picture.
Look for any anomalies in shape and color that might give these animals away.
Camouflage is the first level of defense for many creatures in the wild.
It protects them from predators further down the food chain.
We can give you a clue: you’re looking for a flying mammal.
You have the eyes of a hawk if you can spot an owl camouflaged in a stone wall
Did that help? How about a mysterious clue this time? They are often associated with the fictional character Dracula.
The stealthy creatures are bats. Or, more precisely, cauldron of bats, a collective noun for a group of these flying mammals.
A total of 12 blend into the tree, seemingly looking directly into the camera.
If you’re still struggling, strain your eyes in the middle of your torso.
They are placed vertically. If you’re feeling defeated by this challenge, we’ve rounded up a few for you in the answer below.

Everyone can see the branch, but can you spot the camouflaged creepy crawler in less than ten seconds?
If you succeed, then well done because it means you have 20/20 vision.
But this guy is hard to find, which makes your mission even more difficult and infuriating.
So, take a deep breath, set a timer, and start looking for the hidden bug.
However, we can give you your first clue. We can reveal to you that you are looking for a gnophos caterpillar, otherwise known as an inchworm.
Focus your attention on the branch on the right, pointing down.
Can you see it yet? Congratulations if you beat the clock and found the caterpillar.
If you’ve been beaten, we have the answer for you below. This was a difficult task.
