🐸 Not Twelve… Then How Many Frogs Do You See?

Your eyes capture the image.

Your brain interprets it instantly.

You stop looking once you think you understand it.

The key word? Think.

Often, hidden frogs blend into the background. They might be camouflaged within leaves or formed by negative space.

This phenomenon is similar to famous optical illusions.

Famous Visual Illusions That Trick the Brain
1. The Hidden Faces in Salvador Dalí’s Art
The works of Salvador Dalí are known for double images—paintings that transform depending on how you look at them. One moment you see a landscape; the next, a face appears.

2. The Rubin Vase Illusion
The classic Rubin Vase illusion shows either two faces or a vase, depending on what your brain chooses to focus on. You can’t easily see both at the same time.

3. Frog Camouflage in Nature
Real frogs are masters of camouflage. In nature, species like tree frogs blend perfectly with bark and leaves. Your eyes can pass right over them without noticing.

The puzzle you’re solving uses the same principle.
