Among this huge herd of zebras there is a carnivore, a tiger, hiding smartly waiting for its chance to ambush its prey. What makes this picture unique and one of the best optical illusions is the fact that the hiding tiger is camouflaging itself in the surroundings and can be hardly seen in the image.
While the origin of the picture could not be verified, such images have been the favorites of internet users as they not only help the brain exercise, they are productively engaging and have a great impact on the vision and the mind coordination.
What's in this picture?
In the picture, we can see a group of zebras running in what seems to be a sparsely dense plain land. The tiger is sitting among the zebras crouched behind a bush.
What the picture portrays is a common scene seen in the jungle where herbivores are the easiest prey for carnivores. Herbivores like zebra, deer are an important part of the linear food chain network and are an important source of food and energy for meat-eating animals like lions and tigers. In order to maintain the food chain, organisms depend on each other for food. In this process, the flow of energy remains uninterrupted between two levels of the food chain.
Hint 1
The tiger is of the same color and has the same body pattern as the zebras. This explains the difficulty level of the optical illusion.
A white tiger, which is also known as a bleached tiger is a result of leucism or loss of pigmentation. It has the stripes of a tiger but it lacks the color and looks white.
In this picture the white tiger is blending in perfectly with the herd of zebras and is calmly sitting behind the bush in what seems like the pose a tiger takes before making the pounce on the prey.
Hint 2
Focus on those parts in the picture where you normally would not look. Usually people focus on the centre of a picture at first glance. Only a skillful observant would notice every nook and corner of the image and see the rarely seen.
Here's the tiger
Much similar to its wild behaviour, the tiger in this optical illusion is sitting behind the bush waiting for its chance to pounce on its prey. The white tiger is seen sitting in the right hand side of the picture.
Only those who have good observation skills might be able to spot the tiger in this picture within 10 seconds. The hint is to look beyond the obvious!
