Keeping your brain active is vital when it comes to preventing cognitive decline, and what better way to give your mind a workout than to set yourself the challenge of solving a tricky brain teaser?

Optical illusions and brain teasers are a great way of helping to improve the brain's ability to perceive and interpret visual information accurately, and with a little practice, you could train your brain to crack difficult puzzles in no time.

So, why not try your hand at this new puzzle that has people scratching their heads?

All you need to do is find one snake hiding among the watermelon slices and leaves - but you only have six seconds to do it if you want to be considered a genius.

There's one snake hidden in this image

You might think that snakes and watermelons should be easy to separate, but the picture tricks the eye by combining slices of watermelon with whole fruits, as well as leaves and miscellaneous squiggly lines.

Have you found it yet?

If you're struggling, here's a hint: the creature you're looking for is lurking at the bottom of the picture.
