Today we have a very special optical illusion for you. Among the dizzying shapes, only those with razor-sharp eyesight can spot the panda hidden in this zigzag mirage. These puzzles exploit the complex processing methods of our visual perception. Several factors come into play, including the perception of ground-level images, contrast, and the complex patterns that create the illusion, challenging our ability to accurately perceive images. This illusion is especially difficult because it can make you dizzy at first. However, those with good eyesight will be able to see through this puzzle with ease. This optical illusion challenges you to look at images from different angles and tests your ability to distinguish images clearly. Take a look at the image below:

Haven’t discovered pandas yet? Let us help you. Quickly scroll the image up and down multiple times using the scroll wheel or touchpad. Do you see the panda now? Each row of this stack of fuzzy lines hides a raccoon underneath it. As you scroll the image, something called “persistent vision” causes these frames to move in rapid succession, making the panda underneath them more visible. It’s similar to looking through a moving Ferris wheel—you can see through it, right? But when it’s stationary, it becomes difficult to determine what’s behind it. Another interesting fact is that this photo features a portrait of a panda, similar to the logo of WWF (World Wildlife Fund). Giant pandas are found around the world, but mainly in southern China, with just over 2,200 pandas being closely monitored.
