Who does not love a good optical illusion ? Not only are they a great form of brain exercise, they are also super fun to share with friends and family! So, we are back again with another mind boggling optical illusion…

Find the owl

The optical illusion appeared on FindTheSniper subreddit through user AbsolutZer0_v2. The image displays two tall tree trunks with textured bark, which stand between thick green foliage. The trees display moss growth in certain areas while the surrounding environment remains covered in green vegetation, under soft forest illumination. The viral image contains a hidden owl, which viewers need to locate within ten seconds.

The reveal
The owl remained completely invisible to most viewers, until they carefully examined the left tree branch, where it sat on the moss-covered surface. The owl remains invisible to the eye because its feathers and pattern match the surrounding environment, but its presence becomes detectable through its feathered appearance. The owl's perfect camouflage tricked numerous viewers who later acknowledged its excellent disguise, and the brain teaser's challenging nature.


The image presents an interesting test of observation abilities which demonstrates how animals use natural patterns to remain invisible in their surroundings. The image showcases how optical illusions create an entertaining experience, which helps people improve their ability to focus and notice details precisely.

Reactions from users
Users just loved this particular illusion, and left many comments. While one user said, “What great camouflage!”, the other wrote, “Very cool.” A user, after accepting that they could not spot the owl, said, “That’s amazing camouflage!”, while another one pitched in,“That camouflage is PERFECT.”

Types of optical illusions

There are three main types of optical illusions:

Literal Illusions: These occur when the brain combines elements of an image to create something that doesn’t exist. For example, an image might look like two faces or a vase depending on how you interpret it.

Physiological Illusions: These are caused by overstimulation of the visual system, such as excessive exposure to light, movement, or color. They can create effects like afterimages or motion illusions.

Cognitive Illusions: These rely on how the brain subconsciously interprets information. Examples include illusions like the Müller-Lyer illusion, where lines appear longer or shorter due to surrounding shapes.
