Take a deep breath and get searching because the clock is ticking in this brain teaser.

You have only 10 seconds to spot the hidden creature.

If you succeed in solving this optical puzzle, you have a high level of visual acuity.

But you are going to need every ounce of your visual powers to locate it.

The object of your search is a fringed gecko.

The tiny amphibian was photographed in Madagascar, an island off the coast of East Africa.

Its ability to resemble tree bark keeps it safe from predators, but that’s not such great news if you are a player in this game.

Mr. Gecko is so well camouflaged it renders him almost invisible.

His ability to blend into the background is an astonishing feat.

You might even question if there is a creature there at all.

But we can reassure you that he is there, you just have to look a bit harder.

Everyone can see the family picking apples but you need 20/20 vision to fins the hidden fish in less than 11 seconds

Perhaps you might like a helpful clue in your quest.

Look to the center of the bottom third of the picture. See anything?

If you are ready to throw in the towel, we have circled his position in the image below.

There are games for everyone no matter your age, ability, or interests.

We've decided to go for another search involving another amphibian.

In this task, you have 10 seconds to find the frog hiding in the forest.

The scene is an idyllic forest with green moss covering the floor and tall trees towering above.

The illusion is made especially difficult as it has a plain colour scheme making it much easier for Mr. Frog to hide.

Don't worry if you're struggling, this is one of our most tricky teasers so far.

We can give you a clue that might help in your search.

Look at the tree on the right, then study its left-hand side.

Starting from other roots, scan your eyes upwards and you might find what you're looking for.
