The picture is made up of thick black zig zags, with thinner white zig zags in between. It makes your eyes go really funny when you stare at it for too long, and sort of makes you feel a bit dizzy.
Upon first glance, it seems impossible that there could be an animal somewhere in the illusion, but I promise you there is. Look a bit harder.
Are you struggling to spot the hidden animal?
If you’re struggling, try squinting your eyes a bit or moving the image further away. It’s best to look at the illusion on a smartphone, and tilting the phone could help you see the hidden animal.
Okay, here’s the answer to the optical illusion
Have you given up? If so, here’s the answer. There’s a close-up outline of a panda’s face hidden in the image! It takes up practically the whole picture, with some areas coloured a bit darker to make up the round eyes, ears and neck.
