The stunning artwork depicts a log cabin deep in the woods surrounded by tall trees and a lovely lake.

However, the super shocking thing about the picture is the fact that there is a bear lurking in the picture, completely camouflaged.

A person with brilliant eyesight should be able to quickly find a wild animal that is cheekily incorporated into the photo.

Grab your binoculars and try to see if you can solve the optical illusion using your clever problem-solving brain.

In the picture, the cabin is alone, covered with moss and leaves, while in the background you can see a whole row of trees.

The similar colors throughout the picture is what really turns you off as it is only green and brown.

The bear is very difficult to spot because it is not visible at first glance and requires ultra focus to scan the entire image.

Whether you search high or low for a bear, you’re bound to run out of time and be left scratching your head.

It can be a black or brown bear or even a very cunning polar bear that got lost in the forest.

Try to think outside the box and spot the bear because artist JagranJosh has made this one very tricky.

An extremely clever trick designed to slow you down is performed here because there is so much to search in the image.

Lots of trees have been added to distract you and make you waste time searching every single branch.

This makes it almost impossible to find a bear in less than 12 seconds because you need to search it super fast.

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 hidden animal, but some struggled because of the skillfully posed creature and the unusual bear style the artist used.

In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to find the bear fairly quickly or they would never come up with the boring solution.

A top tip is to review the tricks and stay focused on the slight gifts in the picture.
