There are 2 tigers in this optical illusion. Can you find another?

The answer lies in the stripes of the tigers, with the stripes spelling out the words “The Hidden Tiger”.

An optical illusion depicting a picture of a tiger is doing the rounds on social media, with internet users being asked to find another “hidden” big cat. However, most people are stunned and are unable to find the other feline in the image. This is because they are trying to find the hidden behind the tiger so that there is another hidden one, while the solution is much easier than meets at first glance.

The answer actually lies in the stripes of the tiger, with the stripes spelling out the words “The Hidden Tiger.” A closer look at the front legs, body and hind legs of the tiger, one can see the writing representing the “second tiger”.

Optical illusions are a mainstay in modern Internet culture, with many photos being shared and judged by people online. There is also a website for these illusions, in which a contest is organized every year. According to the ‘Best Illusion of the Year Contest’ website, the event is a celebration of illusion and perception, “created by the ingenuity of the world’s leading illusion creators”. The site further states that “visual scientists, ophthalmologists, neurologists and artists make up the illusion community”.

The competition is an initiative of the Neural Correlate Society (NCS), a non-profit organization that aims to promote scientific research “into the neural correlates of perception and cognition”. According to the website, the organization “serves a community of perception scientists, ophthalmologists, neurologists and artists who use a variety of methods to help discover the basis of delusional perception.”
