In this strikingly beautiful African landscape, a herd of zebra is running. It seems as if they are attacked by a predator that was hiding in plain sight all this time. With the sun shining bright at the top, matched by a contrasting blend of black and white stripes of zebra, it becomes difficult to trace the predator that lurks among the herd.
The first time I encountered this optical illusion puzzle, it took me a solid 15 seconds to spot the apex predator. The biggest giveaway is the tail, and if you are able to find that, your visual skills are top-notch.
The top-tier puzzle solvers would be able to spot the tiger in 8 seconds, and hence the time limit is 8 seconds to find the apex predator.
