Everyone loves a good brainteaser, but this one might just be the hardest we've come across in years!
Made by the amazing people at BBC Earth, this brainteaser shows what it's like to be a lion. A huge heard of zebra are all standing together, but apparently it's your job to search far and wide to see if you can find the hidden badger in their midst.
While a zebra's stripes might seem like a silly form of camouflage on the plains of Africa, this simple little brainteaser shows just how effective it really is. Zebras work best when they're in large groups, and for any predator out there trying to pick them out, it can get pretty confusing!
Make sure to let us know if you managed to spot the hidden badger; if you did it in less than 10 seconds, then you can truly call yourself a lion!
Please scroll down below to see if you can spot the badger!
Can you spot the badger hiding within the herd of wild zebras?
While stripes might seem like a silly form of camouflage, it turns out that this defense can be super effective!
Lions often like to chase the weakest in the herd. They'll sprint toward the whole group and hope that a lone zebra will break off; the hope being that they'll single out that one zebra.
But it's pretty hard to single out anybody when they all stick together. When a zebra is alone, they stand out like a sore thumb, but when they're in a group, they can make a predator suffer from a temporary astigmatism. This confusion might buy a zebra just a few seconds of spare time to run away from a lion and live another day!
So to think that a badger managed to infiltrate the herd is unthinkable! Now that you've looked closely at this guy, take one last long look to see if you can find him in the zebra herd. We promise he's there!
Look hard one more time and let us know how long it took you to spot the badger!
We've been looking at zebra butts for so long, we almost forgot what a badger even looked like. But there he is!
Please SHARE this fun little brainteaser with all your friends and see if you beat them!
