Brainteaser urges drivers to think fast - but it's not as easy as it seems

A new brainteaser has drivers searching for animals hidden in a busy road scene, with people given just 25 seconds to find all six creatures - but it's not as easy as it sounds

Solving puzzles is a fun hobby for many, but it's not just a good way to waste a few minutes on your lunch break or on your commute to work, it can also be good for your health.

Keeping our brains healthy is just as important as taking care of the rest of our bodies, and brain teasers are a fantastic way of giving our minds a workout. And if you're looking for a new puzzle to sink your teeth into, then why not give this one a go?

All you have to do is find the animals hidden within the image below. It's not as easy as it looks, however, and people have been tearing their hair out over it - as you only have 25 seconds to find all the animals.

Take a look at the picture, supplied by car hire experts Hoppa. The image seems to show several cars travelling along a road, two of which look to be heading off on holiday, judging by the luggage piled up high on their rooftops.

But there's more than just vacationing humans in this picture - there are also six animals that you need to find. Animals can pose a real danger to drivers if they happen to dart out in front of your vehicle, and it's important that you're able to react quickly to protect yourself, those around you, and the animals!

That's why Hoppa has given you just 25 seconds to find all six animals, as you'll need to prove you can spot animals in record time on the road.

So, have you spotted them all yet?

If not, here's a hint. Although there's a clear flock of birds in the sky at the top of the image, they don't count towards the six animals we're searching for.

We're looking for critters that could potentially dart in front of our cars, so airborne ones don't qualify. If you've counted the birds as one of your six, you're still missing one - so take another look at the picture!

Don't scroll down if you haven't found all six yet!

We'll be revealing the answers shortly.

Even if your 25 seconds are up, take your time to spot all the creatures. You might not have super quick reflexes, but you're still giving your brain a workout no matter how long it takes - so you'll be quicker next time!

Did you manage to find all the animals?
