But if you succeed in finding this hidden creature you can congratulate yourself.

It means you have 20/20 vision and one smart cookie indeed.

In the very brief allotted time, the object of your search is a parrot.

Everyone can see the palm tree, but where is the bird?

It's secreted away in the foliage somewhere, but it is hard to find.

The video comes from Rayyan Affan (@sidd.boyzz).

His beady eyes spot the exotic bird in sunny Spain.

“Spotted a parrot while walking down a street in Barcelona," he said.

His discovery draws the attention of other tourists.

The parrot's colorful plumage does little to give its hiding place away.

Everyone can see the trees in the forest but only those with 20/20 vision can spot the hidden frog in 10 seconds

Some loud squawking is the only clue to his position.

But if you want some help, some passersby are pointing up at it.

Follow the direction of their gaze and you might find it.

Need an even bigger hint? Look to the bottom left of the leafy part of the tree.

You should see the faint outline of a bird.

If, however, you are still struggling, we have circled its position in the picture below.

There it is

But this time you're searching for a gecko.

Everyone can see the leaves but you have 20 seconds to find the tiny creature.

It is the master of disguise and you have your work cut out finding it.

Its camouflage renders it almost impossible.

It blends into the background seamlessly.

Want a hint? It is clinging to the tree bark.

Need more help? Focus your attention on the right underside of the branch and look out of the animal's telltale bulging eyes.

Look along the side of the branch, and you might notice what appears to be a piece of the bark sticking out.

Right under your nose the entire time, this part of the branch is the camouflaged lizard.
