Can you sniff out the hidden object in this calming scene?

Brain teasers are the perfect way to exercise your brain in the same way you'd hit the gym to keep your body healthy. Solving just one puzzle every day can help your brain work at peak performance, and can even keep degenerative diseases such as dementia at bay.

So if you're in the market for a brain-boosting puzzle today, why not give this optical illusion a go? The concept is simple, all you need to do is find the hidden object in this seemingly peaceful woodland setting. There's just one catch though - you've only got 15 seconds to do it.

Take a look at the serene image above. You'll see a forest setting with dozens of trees lining the edge of a dirt pathway, as well as a bright blue stream that runs along the bottom of the picture. But it's not just flora in the image, as an animal is lurking somewhere in the background.

Your job is to find the hidden deer in the picture. According to Deer Hunting Guide, who put together the puzzling teaser, you should be able to find the deer within 15 seconds. So, set yourself a timer and get hunting!

Mind-bending optical illusion makes your brain 'adjust' after 10 seconds

If you're having trouble finding the deer, we'll give you a hint. It might seem obvious, but the deer won't be found in the water. In fact, you can forget about hunting anywhere near the stream, as you'll find the animal in the upper portion of the image, toward the trees.

Got it now? We're about to give you the answer, so if you're still looking then don't scroll any further!

If that one was too easy for you, why not try your hand at something a little different? Only sharp-eyed players can spot the hidden number in this tricky puzzle, while this brain teaser is so difficult that only the "smartest people" can find the odd items lurking in the messy suitcase.

There are also different types of puzzles you can try, such as this fiendishly difficult quiz shared by the question editor for BBC Two's Only Connect, or this maths equation that is said to be so tricky that only those with the IQ of Albert Einstein can solve it, or even this Who Wants To Be A Millionaire jackpot question that saw one contestant miss out on £1 million.
