This image is known as an optical illusion, meaning there could be other not-so obvious elements to be found.
The challenge here is to find the owl, that is perfectly blended into the leafy background.
Are you able to spot it or will you be left scratching your head?
Time is tight, but if you ace this task, you must have 20/20 vision.
It might seem a bit daunting at first, but the key is to carefully examine each section of the scene.
You might wish to start from the top left corner of the image and work your way down, or maybe do the complete opposite – whatever gives you more confidence!
Did you manage to spot the hidden owl? If so, congratulations!
This is an African scops owl, a small species found only in sub-Saharan Africa and it’s almost impossible to spot especially when it perches on a tree branch.
The images were captured by Roan du Plessis, a safari guide at a private game reserve in South Africa.
Roan, who lives and works at the Beyond’s Ngala Safari Lodge, wanted to show visitors how the reserve’s trackers are very skilled when spotting animals.
He said: “I take guests on luxury safaris for a living. I would by no means consider myself a professional photographer, but the opportunities for capturing amazing photos are endless because of what I do.
“I was on safari with guests when I took these photos. I wanted to demonstrate how incredible the trackers are at spotting animals.”
“It’s not unlikely that I would be able to take more photos like this one because this is typical behaviour for the scops owl. That is, of course, if we can find them,” he added.
Still struggling to find the owl? Don’t worry as there will be a solution image at the bottom.
