2. Where’s the Copperhead Snake?
In another viral photo, a copperhead snake is hiding somewhere in a pile of leaves in the woods. The challenge, simply titled “Find the Copperhead,” shows how effective nature’s camouflage can be. Many viewers couldn’t even tell where to start looking for the hidden snake. Tip: Look in the bottom left-hand corner of the image. Even experienced snake spotters admitted they had to zoom in to find this elusive reptile. Can you do it without zooming in?
3. The Vanishing Owl in the Tree
This photo features a dense, leafy tree, but hidden within it is an owl that has seemingly vanished. The challenge, which went viral on Twitter, asks people to find the owl, but many are left frustrated as the owl’s feathers blend seamlessly with the bark and leaves. Hint: The owl is perched on one of the larger branches, its round eyes barely giving away its location. If you’re struggling, focus on the branches that look slightly bulkier than usual.
4. Hidden Cat Among the Logs
In this viral photo, a cat is hiding among a pile of chopped logs. The challenge is to find the feline, which blends in perfectly with the brown wood.

Reddit users have debated this one, with most finding the cat only after zooming in and inspecting each log carefully.
