THIS is a fun brain teaser to test the quality of your vision.
You can claim razor-sharp eyesight if you’re able to spot the snake hiding in the forest within seven seconds.
This puzzle is particularly tricky because it uses a natural phenomenon – camouflage – to hide the target.
Creatures like snakes have evolved specifically to blend in with their environments – so are famously tricky to spot.
This one is hiding in a forest filled with ferns and conifer trees.
It looks like it could be temperate woodland, rather than a tropical rain-forest.
If you ever find yourself strolling through snake-inhabited undergrowth, then this will have been great practice.
There are three native species of snake in the UK, although they are rarely seen by most of us.
Most common is the grass snake, which is also the biggest – growing up to 1.5m.
Then there’s the adder, which is the UK’s only native poisonous snake.
And, rarest of all, is the smooth snake – found in some heaths in southern England.
How are you getting on with the serpentine search?
Here’s a clue if you’re struggling.
Even if you don’t spot the snake walking through the wood, you’re likely to come across it anyway.
