You can’t miss the adorable puppies in the garden, but you have 20/20 vision if you spot the raccoon in under 9 seconds

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.

Benefits of brainteasers and optical illusions

Researchers have developed many tests to show how various brain regions react to brainteasers and optical illusions. There are many benefits.

• They are not only entertaining, but they also shed light on how our brains interpret visual data.
• By giving your brain a little workout regularly, you enhance your ability to focus and observe details.
• Studies have shown people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration, and attention.
• Improved concentration and attention span can help prevent cognitive decline in old age.

"Found the raccoon, but I'm honestly just here for the puppies and gosh, they are adorable!" said another.

"What a cute little face he has," someone else commented.

"Didn't need to zoom in to find this one, yay!" they said.

Somewhere within the blades of grass is a lizard that is perfectly camouflaged with its surroundings.
