Mind-boggling optical illusion is driving people nuts after they can't spot a baby – but how long will it take you? | The Sun

AN OPTICAL illusion has left the social media users baffled after they were struggling to locate a baby in a photo.

The now-viral snap has taken the internet by storm, with hundreds failing to spot the child in the mind-boggling illusion.

The summery image sees a tot on his father's back in what appears to be a massive pool filler with water.

The child, as shown in the video, is wearing a blue swimming costume, whilst the parent's top half is naked.

But what makes the photo more interesting – and puzzling – is the position of the child's head.

As the tot is almost glued to the adult, the two heads have almost merged together, making it impossible to distinguish which head belongs to whom.

TikTok user Apex, who shared the video on TikTok, said it took him a whopping five minutes to find the child's head.

More than a hundred people on social media attempted to complete the challenge – but with no success.

One said: ''still dont see it [sic].''

Another added: ''omg, l had to read the comments before l could see it.'

''Haha maybe I should try again when I’m sober,'' a fourth blamed alcohol.

Did you manage to find it? Or were you struggling?

If so, some had spotted the baby – if you look closely enough, you'll realised that the only ear in the photo belongs to the tot.

There's also a faint line somewhere in the middle – and those are his eyelashes.
