Can you spot the hidden animals? Mind-blowing optical illusion reveals if you have a high IQ, but you only have 20 seconds to find them

This mind-blowing optical illusion can reveal whether you have a high IQ if you can see the hidden details in the photo.

Sounds easy, right? But there’s a catch: you only have 20 seconds to identify them all.

At first glance, the mind-bending drawing is just a sketch of a black tree and its branches, against a white background.

However, there are five hidden animals in the monochrome image, which are harder to spot because the color has been removed.

To take on the challenge, simply set a timer for 20 seconds and cast your gaze between the branches.

If you can find all five animals before time runs out, you may have a higher IQ than most.

Challenging yourself with a visual teaser is a great way to engage your brain power and some of your senses.

However, if this has you scratching your head, here are a few pointers:

• All five animals you are looking for are birds
• Three are smaller and two are larger
• On the left side of the tree are three animals

If you’re still struggling to find all the hidden creatures, stop scrolling now as the answers are revealed in the image below.

The black and white photo, shared by Times nowshows both a cat and a mouse.

The black and white photo, shared by Times Now, shows two animals – which one you see first will determine your greatest features

If your eyes have naturally wandered to the black cat, which is most of the image, it means that your personality traits are similar to those of the feline animal.

You are independent and curious, but also mysterious and playful.

Like most domestic cats, you are not dependent on others and prefer to do things yourself.

You are naturally curious and always looking to learn new things and ask more questions.

You switch easily between work and play and often lure others in with your mysterious personality.

If you saw the mouse first, which is smaller on the page, it means you are more careful.

You may be quite shy and reserved, but this does not mean that you are unaware of your surroundings.

Those who first saw the mouse are both observant and timid: they always look at what is happening around them.

You are also flexible and resourceful and know what to do when faced with problems and difficult situations.
