Take a closer look at this adorable picture of baby chinchillas. At first glance, you might count 9. But this is a hidden-animal challenge: several smaller faces are tucked between the larger animals.
Try the counting puzzle
Begin with the most obvious animals, then scan along the edges and into the gaps. Watch for little eyes and noses peeking out from behind the others. It is surprisingly easy to overlook a hidden animal when two bodies overlap.
How many can you spot without help? Give the picture one more careful look before checking the solution.
The answer
There are 12 baby chinchillas in the picture. That includes 9 prominent ones and 3 smaller hidden ones. If you counted fewer, look again behind the larger animals.
