Can you spot the elephant in six seconds? Optical illusion reveals how intelligent YOU are
How attentive are YOU? Only those with the sharpest observational skills and intelligence can spot the elephant in this vintage illusion in under six seconds
- This optical illusion image of a circus master hides a secret: an elephant
- The circus master is neatly dressed with a coat with tails and a hat under his arm
- People who can spot the elephant in seconds are said to be highly intelligent
At first glance, this vintage-looking statue seems pretty nondescript, but take a closer look.
There’s a hidden elephant hiding in this optical illusion sketch of a circus master.
The man has a sword tied around his body and carries a trumpet.
Smartly dressed, he wears a coat with tails and a two-cornered hat under his arm.
There’s an elephant hiding in this vintage sketch of a circus master… can you spot it in six seconds?
But if you can see a hidden elephant in this sketch within six seconds, he says it means you have a high intelligence Jagra Josh.
The image appears to have made the rounds in 2022, but has since resurfaced online .
For those wondering where the elephant is hiding, take a good look at the circus master’s coat.
If you follow its tail up, the elephant’s trunk appears and the knob, or perhaps a ripped hole, on the back serves as the animal’s eye.
The sleeve forms one of the elephant’s ears and the sword forms a tusk.
This is far from the first animal-related optical illusion to leave people scratching their heads.
Last month, another image of an optical illusion featuring black and white horizontal lines made headlines.
The proximity of the lines made it difficult for observers to spot the excreted frog.

If you still can’t see it, moving further away from the screen may have some more success.
If that doesn’t work, try squinting or looking away from the screen and back again.
To make things a little easier for those of you who are still struggling, below we have an image of the animal – a frog – as it would look in a different color scheme.
A third mind-bending optical illusion surfaced earlier this month.
The artwork was created by Japanese artist Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who is known for his illusions.
Going counterclockwise, starting from the top, you’ll see a blue circle and then a magenta circle, but when you hit the third rounded shape, the answer is a bit more complicated.
Can you see the animal hidden between the black and white horizontal lines in the image above?
The frog was hidden between the lines, but can be seen a lot better under a different color scheme
What do you see? This optical illusion shows your eye a yellow circle
If the last circle is yellow, your eyes have been fooled – because if you focus on the color, you’ll see that it’s actually black and white.
But don’t feel too bad, because you’re not the only one who was betrayed by their eyes.
Recently, the optical illusion resurfaced on Reddit after it was initially shared by Kyoto-based creator Akiyoshi, a professor of psychology at Japan’s Ritsumeikan University.
Redditor Eumaeu5 posted the image with the caption, “There is no yellow in this image (cover all but a few ‘yellow’ lines to prove it). Your brain expects yellow and fills in the gaps.’
A Redditor explained what happened in the optical illusion.
Your brain has an automatic white balance function. Because all lines are blue except in the “yellow circle,” it tricks your brain into adapting to a cool white environment, such as daylight or an overcast day,” they said.
“The result is that it also adjusts everything around the actually black lines to be perceived as warmer. That way white becomes warm white.’
