THE two easily spotted puppies in the garden aren’t the only animals wanting to get outside and play in this brain teaser.
Somewhere around the stone house there is also a raccoon hiding.
Reddit user Cocaine navel shared a photo of the playful scene after spotting the creature.
“Outside gardening with my new foster kids. Find the raccoon,” they said.
You have just under nine seconds to spot the animal and put your eye for detail to the test.
Be quick, because time is running out.
Don’t give up yet, keep exploring the area.
Take a look around the garden, where the little puppies are chasing each other around the large stones.
Could the raccoon be hiding somewhere among the carefully planted shrubs and trees?
Look up and down. From left to right.
Now keep looking up a little, until you look on the roof on the right.
Maybe a raccoon is looking at you, while the tree provides him with some shade.
It seems like he wants to join after all.
