Optical illusions can trick our brains into perceiving patterns, ignoring the obvious difference in the face. The picture you see here appears to be nothing but an infinite zigzag black and white stripe pattern. It appears normal, even a bit dizzy, at first sight. But don’t deceive yourself, concealed deep beneath these brusque patterns is an animal just waiting to be found.

Look closely. Can you see anything strange about the movement of the zigzags? Between the stripes and breaks, a familiar shape starts to form. This illusion puts your patience and attention to the test. Some see it in seconds, while others will sit there for a few minutes staring at the screen thinking there’s nothing here.The secret is in the way our minds read, contrast and shape. The animal is concealed by a clever application of negative space and redirection, merging with the zigzag pattern in perfect harmony. To make matters worse, the stark black-and-white contrast continues to distract you in alternating directions. The more closely you look, the more it appears to dance out of view.So your time starts now!Did you find it ? How much time did you take to find it?If you’re still unable to see it, try sitting back from your screen or squinting a little. Distance may make the picture snap into focus. And once it does, you’ll never be able to “unsee” it, that’s been right in front of you.Here’s a tiny hint, it’s one of the world’s favourite animals, famous for its gentleness, classic black-and-white coat, and bamboo-loving appetite. Yes, you guessed it correctly, somewhere in this zigzag labyrinth is a panda.

Optical illusions such as these remind us just how amazing the human mind is, and how perception can have a tendency to trick reality.
