Optical illusion: Only those with sharp eyes can detect the camouflaged rabbit in this image
Optical illusions are the new cool thing on the internet, which has taken social media by storm. These visual puzzles are not just entertaining, but also put your intellect to the test. This new viral optical illusion, featuring a well-camouflaged rabbit, is leaving viewers scratching their heads. While the family dog of the poster was able to pick up on the hidden creature, many humans took upwards of a minute to find it, if at all. So, the question is: Can you beat the odds and spot the rabbit faster? The post was made on Reddit two days ago by user Hollysworld77 in the subreddit Find the Sniper. Captioning the post, the user wrote, 'Find the Rabbit. My dog could see it, but I did not until 3-4 minutes of scouring the scene.' At first glance, the scene looks like an ordinary suburban yard, complete with dry mulch, a white fence, and a bright-colored fire hydrant. But hidden carefully in the landscape is a rabbit that has blended seamlessly into its surroundings, and most people overlook it entirely. A lot of users were left puzzled, and some were sharing tips as well; one user even suggested looking in the direction where the dog was viewing. Struggling to find the rabbit yet? Here are a few visual clues that could help you spot it: Focus your attention on the left-hand side of the image Look just left of the fire hydrant, near the green utility box, which is closer to the roadside Scan the patch of dry grass and mulch between the utility box and fire hydrant Still could not find the concealed rabbit? Here is the solution: The rabbit got camouflaged by dry grass and mulch. This is not just a game; it is a good way to work on your observation skills, focus, and how aware you are of space. Optical illusions check how our brains understand what we see, mostly when things are mixed into backgrounds on purpose. The rabbit's colors made it super hard to spot if you were not really looking. Animals camouflage to stay alive, and it shows us humans how much we count on things standing out, moving, and patterns to see things. A: The rabbit is cleverly camouflaged with the background, blending into the dry grass and mulch, which makes it hard to spot unless you're looking at the right area with focus. A: Just left of the red fire hydrant, near the green utility box, in front of the white fence. Look for its upright ears. A: They trick the brain by using colours, patterns, and spatial layouts that create misleading or hidden visuals. Your brain fills in gaps based on prior knowledge or assumptions. A: Yes! They help improve focus, memory, cognitive flexibility, and even problem-solving skills.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 19: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film Saiyaara remains unstoppable at the box office even after 19 days since its release. The film is helmed by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri. Saiyaara has now touched yet another milestone, arguably the biggest so far, crossing ₹ 500 crore worldwide, claimed the film team. YRF shared that Saiyaara has grossed ₹ 507 crore at the global box office in 18 days. Sharing the news on their Instagram, the production house's official post read, '#Saiyaara found a home in your hearts - and we couldn't be more thankful.' Reacting to the news, YRF's CEO, Akshaye Widhani, who backed the film, said in a statement, 'As a company, we share this historic success with the captain of the ship, Mohit Suri who has given this generation a defining love story they can call their own, the incredible debutants Ahaan & Aneet who made the world feel love on screen through their brilliant acting, Aditya Chopra for his unwavering guidance, the entire cast and crew of Saiyaara and everyone at YRF for their invaluable contribution towards making this film into a global phenomenon.' He added, 'The success of Saiyaara, a pure love story, once again proves that the romance genre is probably the one to get most love from audience if we give them the right film to cherish and endorse. We are humbled with this success story and it fuels us to look for the next film that can break-out and make India proud globally.' Akshaye also said, 'It's deeply encouraging to see young audiences lead the way in embracing this film, disproving doubts about their theatrical participation. Thank you to every viewer, everywhere, for making Saiyaara the defining love story of our time.' With this, Saiyaara becomes the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 500 crore mark worldwide. So far, only Vicky Kaushal's blockbuster Chhaava has achieved this feat. Chhaava minted ₹ 807.91 crore worldwide as its lifetime earnings. Saiyaara recently crossed the ₹ 300 crore mark in India on day 18. However, industry tracker Sacnilk is yet to confirm Saiyaara's ₹ 500 crore achievement at the international box office. According to their website, on day 18, Saiyaara's Worldwide Collection stood at ₹ 492.50 crore. Its Overseas Collection was ₹ 130 crore on the same day. Saiyaara is a romance-drama, focused on the story of Krish Kapur (played by Ahaan Panday), an egotistical, short-tempered musician who is in search of a big break. He meets Vaani (played by Aneet Padda), a shy, aspiring journalist recovering from heartbreak. As they cross paths, love follows, but fate takes them apart, setting them on a journey filled with love, loss and heartbreak.
