Spot the bird: This VIRAL photo by a forest officer has left internet baffled

Everyone enjoys solving a challenging puzzle, especially one that involves finding a hidden object. These days, forest officials frequently upload fascinating images of flora and fauna while also presenting intriguing puzzles to test internet users' wits. Balamurugan P, an Indian Forest Service officer tweeted a photo of a tree on Saturday from the Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGNFA). In Dehradun, Uttarakhand, there is a professional training academy for Indian Forest Service officers.

He tagged many other forest service employees and added the message, "Let me know what you notice." The job was made more challenging by the officer because he did not say whether to seek for a bird or an animal in the image.

Here’s the VIRAL tweet. Tell us what do you see in the image below?

The image of an animal or bird is extremely difficult to identify because it is perfectly camouflaged. To see the hidden creature, one must examine the image very closely. Some internet users approached the IFS officer for advice while others were completely lost. Many followers came to the conclusion that they could spot a bird on the tree after carefully examining the image. Users who were trying to identify the bird left numerous comments on the share. "Seems to be a cicada on tree bark," a user exclaimed.

The bird was eventually discovered on the tree by another user, who circled the image and remarked, "Maybe here is the bird." In response to his remark, the officer said, "Exactly, it's a streak-throated woodpecker."

A few days ago, Parveen Kaswan, an employee of the Indian Forest Service (IFS), posted a photograph to Twitter that confused many people. The spots on the backs of two large cats, a leopard and a jaguar, could be seen in the photograph. Based on the patterns on their bodies, Mr. Kaswan challenged his followers and other Twitter users to identify the correct species.
