EVEN the clearest people couldn’t spot the animal on this wildlife alert, can you?
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a leave-alone-wildlife alert on April 3 with accompanying video.

However, many could not see the duck that was hidden in the thick grass.
“You never know where you’ll find wildlife!” read warning. “It may not seem like it, but it’s spring, and that means we’ll soon have loads of chicks, geese, ducklings and more running around.
“Please leave the wild animals alone so they can devote themselves to creating more wild animals.”
In the video, the duck is virtually impossible to spot until the person holding the camera approaches its hiding place.
“We have a mallard nesting right in front of us,” the person said.
The duck’s ability to hide got some jokes in the responses to the video.
“Don’t hide the ducks,” wrote one person. “The game is called duck, duck, goose, not duck and seek.”
“New Easter game,” ODFW replied.
Another person said that he began to see and hear more birds in the area where they live.
“The daffodils are coming up. I’ve even seen some trilliums. Spring is doing its best to get going, but winter is stubborn.”
According to ODFW, the ducklings are usually in the water at this time of year, “but the adults also seem to be feeling the winter and have held back to give their young the best chance of survival.”
If you were able to spot the duck right away, you might want to test your eyesight with some of these other optical illusions.
This “two-line illusion” will test whether you have supervision: where you live could set you up for failure.
And if you can’t see the cat playing with the fish in this picture in less than five seconds, maybe you should buy some glasses.
