Only certain people can spot the horse in this picture – are you one of the special few?

Optical illusions have become popular for a reason.

Let’s admit it, who doesn’t enjoy playing with perception? Who doesn’t love that moment of being perplexed when they can’t spot something that others easily do?

Every so often, we encounter puzzles that truly leave us puzzled, and part of the fun is sharing them to see who can – for lack of better terms – crack the mystery.

Well, an image has recently surfaced on the internet … one that has people scratching their heads for answers. See if you’re one of the lucky few who can spot what most people miss.

This picture is a classic optical illusion; one that, at first glance, seems as puzzling as it is difficult to understand. Of course, the beauty of such illusions is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

This illusion hides an image within an image. So, take a moment and ask yourself: what do you see?

Do you spot a frog? A horse? Or maybe both?

If you’re only seeing one of the two, there’s something you should know. Both images are hidden here, but not everyone can identify both.

Almost everyone immediately notices the frog … but finding the horse can be much more challenging. Take another look.

The horse
Still not seeing it? Let’s give you a hint.

You’re not looking for the entire horse, just its head and neck.

Can you spot it now? Not quite?

Alright, try focusing around the lily pad area – doesn’t the texture seem a bit unusual?
