Only 1 in seven people have been able to solve it

This is one of the most difficult optical illusions. As per reports only 1 in seven people are observant to spot the lurking fox in this picture.

In the picture there is a group of geese enjoying near what seems like a pond or a lake. However, there is a fox lurking nearby without the knowledge of the geese group. Even those who see this picture will not be able to spot the fox quickly.

This brain and vision teasing picture is a favorite among those who love optical illusions.

​Can you spot the fox?

No?

It is because our knowledge around hunting and preying is that when the prey is around the hunter lies low and waits for a chance to pounce upon it.

We have seen in many instances where big hunter animals like lions and leopards remain in a low position, often camouflaging in the surroundings and just when the prey is in sight and the situation is favorable, the hunter attacks the prey.

3/4

​Why can't we spot the fox easily?

It is because our vision is unable to outline the hidden fox in the picture, which is the main purpose of the illusion.

Another reason is that our knowledge on hunting compels us to look for the fox on the ground hiding behind the bushes or lurking somewhere far. We don't expect the fox to be standing somewhere close to the geese.

4/4

​Where is the fox exactly?

Here it is!! It's standing right next to the geese above on the tree waiting for a chance to attack.
