The illusion features woodland animals such as deer, rabbits, turtles, and badgers taking in the summer sun.

The artist asked puzzlers to spot seven key differences between the almost identical two images.

Dudolf shared the puzzle on Facebook, inviting his thousands of followers to "have another ice cream while it's still hot outside!"

The response has been overwhelming, with hundreds of people attempting the challenge.

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.
  • Optical illusions can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
