”This is like that scene from hunger games where the guy blends into the rocks,” one Reddit user wrote.
“I stared at this for 10 minutes and honestly thought it was a prank. When I finally saw her, I jumped,” another commenter confessed.
Another joked, “Same here! It’s like she’s some kind of rock ninja or something.”
A third said it gave them flashbacks to those frustrating 90s “magic eye” puzzles:
“So frustrating — I swear she just appeared out of nowhere!”
And honestly? They’re not wrong.
Next-level optical illusion
As per the American Museum of Natural History, optical illusions like this happen because our brains try to fill in gaps and make sense of incomplete information. Basically, your mind is working overtime in order to see what it thinks should be there, not what’s actually there.
In this case, that means your brain completely misses the small child’s face peeking through a tiny opening in the rock.
