Puzzle lovers are scratching their heads trying to find the zebra in a photo showing a herd of wildebeest.

The photo below shows a large herd of wildebeest roaming the African savannah. Some of these antelope-like creatures roam the plains while others appear to graze. Somewhere in this animated image hides a zebra.

You may need to look closely at the image if you are unable to spot the striped animal immediately. The animal has camouflaged itself in the scene, making this diabolically difficult puzzle to solve. Note that you can click on the image to view it larger because it is about finding a needle in a haystack. Are you ready ?

If you haven’t found the solution, be aware that your gaze should be to the left of the image, where you should be able to see the distinctive black and white stripes of the zebra. Let’s look at the solution together.

Did you know ? The stripes of the zebra primarily serve two purposes: the first is to deter pests, including tsetse flies and horseflies, which are disturbed by the contrasting black and white pattern. The second is camouflage, where the stripes serve to confuse predators by creating an optical illusion effect when they move in groups, making it difficult to isolate a single individual.
