This optical illusion is so hard, that only 1% of people can find the third animal

Are you one of the many fans of visual puzzles and other optical illusions that circle the web? Then this new challenge should please you. On TikTok, a user answering to the pseudonym @pasillusion shared on June 13 a video presenting a drawing, on which we can see a dolphin swallowing a small fish.

As the user explains, the challenge here is to find the third animal hidden in the image, and he assures us that only 1% of the people subjected to this test end up finding the right answer. So, did you find it?

Where is the third animal?

Not easy, is it? Because while everyone can clearly see the dolphin from the back feeding on the carcass of a poor small fish and the boat sailing in the background, there is no trace of any other form of marine life in this drawing.

And the answer is...

The third animal in this picture is in fact a bird. There are actually several of them. To see them, users simply have to turn their screen upside down and the whole illusion will be explained before their eyes.

Because once turned upside down, the dolphin itself turns into a bird with a large beak - probably a pelican - also devouring the little fish, which is no more fortunate than the other way around. And a second bird even appears behind the first, much smaller and formed by the dolphin's tail sticking out of the water. Finally, the drawings of the waves are turned upside down into tiny birds that seem to be in the background.
