You're of 'extraordinary intelligence' if you can spot the giraffe hiding in this picture

Everyone loves a good optical illusion, from animals and shapes to dresses that change colour - they can cause people a bit of a headache sometimes while testing people’s observations.

The most recent one doing the rounds on social media is one for people who consider themselves above average on the intelligence side of things, in fact, it's for people who reckon they possess "extraordinary intelligence".

This image features a multitude of brightly coloured toy animals. Within the picture, there are lions, hippos, birds, elephants, deer and monkeys all of which are different colours such as yellow, pink, purple and orange.

However, alongside all of these animals is a single giraffe (we can’t tell you what colour!) hidden in plain sight. While a lot of people may be unable to locate the giraffe, those with high IQ have been shown to be able to within 11 seconds.

The multicoloured image is a fun and quick way to test your intelligence with those who find the giraffe fast tending to have a high level of intelligence, with studies showing that the more you exercise your brain the smarter you will be.

Do you think you can spot the giraffe in less than 11 seconds? Let us know how you get on in the comments below…
