If you stare long enough at the image below, a face of a lion should hit you in the face, surprise! No wonder these zebras look so worried – they must be aware there’s a lion spying on them. The image is work of Donald Rust, and is called “Hidden Lion”,… obiously.

That was so EASY! The lion was the first thing I saw! After about 2-3 seconds, I realized there were some zebras… That’s so EASY! But it’s cute. I like it.
But it was REALLY HARD recognizing each and every zebra and what each part belongs to what. I had no idea that the lion’s eyes were a zebra’s ears. Those are 2 big ears!
its the first thing i saw..
exactly
I realised that one doesn’t need to stare long enough. Just know that there is a lion there and peer through half-closed eyes.
Yeah I found it before looking at title it took like one sec…
Strangely the lion was the first thing I saw, I had to through my eye (yes eye singular) out of focus in order to see the zebras clearly.
Saw the lion a first sight too
I think the description is a ‘spoiler’ cause then we know what to look for.
soz mutz but i dont agree wiv u coz i saw da lion b4 lookin at da description.
Wow, that’s pretty groovy! Jk…. That is cool though.
oh my god it was amazing
the front zebra is a bit of an odball which makes it kind of obvious but pretty awesome anyroad
what Crissy said
I saw it in only 1 second.It was so easy for me.

Too obvious.

Kinda easy to spot since the middle zebra has a hole in its chest but its really nice art and a great illusion. Kudos to Rust.

It’s obvious. It’s so obivious that I can’t even see where one zebra ends and the other starts around the “Hidden Lion”
Pretty awesome though.

I had to look hard to see the zebras (just kidding)
I cant see anything BUT a lion- the eyes are so obvious! The zebras were the second thing I saw
HAHAHAHA! I get it now! The eyes are zebra ears! (boy is my face red…)
