If you can see the cheeky monkey very quickly, then you have the eyes of a hawk, but be careful, he is very good at hiding.

The stunning artwork depicts a bunch of towering giraffes gathered in a beautiful zoo, surrounded by lush green grass and a nice cool pool.

Children and their parents watch in awe as the giant animals with long necks raise their hands and ask for food from the playful children.

The habitat might look pretty normal at first glance, but once you discover that the monkey is somewhere among the giraffes, your eyes will open as the hunt begins.

A person with good eyesight should be able to quickly find the charming chimpanzee and capture him before it’s too late and he takes over the zoo like a pint-sized King Kong.

But don’t panic because this monkey is less like a giant gorilla and more like Curious George.

But for a puzzle that seems so simple, the sneaky monkey’s excellent hiding skills have left many baffled and calling the puzzle impossible.

The mammal cheekily blends into the picture because it is in an unusual position in the picture that you would never expect from a monkey.

If you can solve this challenging optical illusion, you could become a brilliant zookeeper with your clever problem-solving brain.

At first glance at the photo, there is no way that a monkey could live in harmony with giraffes without anyone noticing and that is obvious, but the deeper you look, the faster it appears.

The boring guy is hidden deep in the photo, but with his expert hiding skills, you’re sure to run out of time as the monkey entertains the giraffes all night long.

You will surely waste time staring at the trees in the back which are full of various other animals and assume that it just blended in with them.

But this makes it so difficult to find the monkey in a short time because you have to search everything super fast and avoid distractions.

Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.

Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.

And according to ZenBuisness, “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”

The photo left many wanting to find the monkey, but a few had trouble due to the large number of distractions and the cleverly placed culprit.
