THE two easily spotted puppies in the garden aren’t the only animals who want to come out and play in this brainteaser.
A raccoon is also hiding out somewhere around the brick home.
Redditor Cocainenavel shared a photo of the playful scene after spotting the creature.
“Out gardening with my new foster pups. Find the raccoon,” they said.
You have just under nine seconds to spot the animal and test your killer attention to detail.
Hurry up, because time is ticking.
Don’t give up just yet, keep scanning the scene.
Look around the garden where the small pups are chasing each other around multi-sized rocks.
Could the raccoon be hiding somewhere around the carefully planted shrubs and trees?
Look up and down. Side to side.
Keep shifting your eyes a bit up now – keep going until you look to the right, on top of the roof.
You might just find a pair of raccoon eyes staring back at you, with the tree giving it some shade.
It looks like it wants to join in on the fun after all.
Spotted our little friend?
Congratulations! You might have perfect vision.
Other Redditors who had also put their brainteaser skills to the test found the image to be cuteness overload.
“That face! Also, those pups are adorable,” said one user.
