The Hidden Tiger Optical Illusion
↓ Sponsored Links
This must be the toughest optical illusion I’ve ever come across, created by American wildlife artist Rusty Rust, that shows a huge Bengal Tiger standing in a bamboo forest. Your mission now is to look for “The Hidden Tiger” in the image below, where is the hidden tiger?
Hint – Read between the line. Drop your answer in the comment box! Don’t go looking for the answer in the comment box right away, that would literally kill the fun.

Nicki, Andre, Daniz Akay, and Leo found the answer already, I’m holding their comment for a while so that others can have the fun too. Gosh, I think I am retarded, it took me like ages to find the answer.

June 29th, 2007In addition to the text in the tiger’s stripes, I can make out a vague tiger shape in the trees above the tiger. It’s a little smaller than the tiger, facing down and to the right. Its face is in profile above the tiger’s rear end.
I don’t know if that image was intentionally put there by the artist, or if it’s just pareidolia on my part, because it is pretty vague even when you know what to look for.

August 15th, 2008When we read the name of ilusion, “The Hidden Tiger”, we start sceraching for another tiger, and we don’t look for the unhidden tiger nomore. If you don’t read the name of ilusion, it’s most easy to find the words.

February 12th, 2009This is one of the optical illusions that is kinda hard but it really doesnt seem like an optical illusion. It was kinda hard for me because it took me about 3 minutes and the person that did this is really creative and if he drew it I would be amazed because i cant even draw that good.
