I was just counting all the recent zebra optical illusions. Can you believe there were more than dozen? If you don’t believe me, use the search box in the sidebar. It’s amazing how our archive has grown in the past 4 years. You only realize this when you think of an uncommon animal like zebra for example, and realize that only this particular animal has appeared more than few times on this site. I’m scared to even make a humble guess how often we mentioned more traditional animals; like dogs, wolves and horses. Enough babbling, your newest assignment should be more than easy – all you have to do is spot the third in this optical illusion image below. Don’t check the following link if you want to do it on your own. If you still have problems seeing it, get a hint over here.

ha ha,
“Third” thats all i could read!
so if thats the zebra in front is marked as third, then where are the first and second ;)
if you can find the hidden tiger, the third stands out like a sore thumb.
“oo..OOO..OOOO” that was literally what i said when I found it.. xD
It took me a while but I got it.
******Spoiler allert******
You are not looking for a third zebra, but the word THIRD. It is in the stripes of the foremost zebra.
Hehe, found the “third”. Good one.
Regards.
I don’t get it..
Ohh crap!!
I could not find this for my life!!
Nice one
I don’t want to spoil it for people but here’s a clue, your not looking for a zebra…that’s all and read the title of the article again if you still have trouble…lol…I couldn’t figure it out at first…
Thanks Zebra Chick!
I had all but given up!
The word ‘third’ is written in the zebra’s stripes.
haha i had been looking for over 2 hours and i still couldn’t find it after that i gave up and i remembered a task to do on the Zebra so i printed it out and i was just gluing it when i saw the third i can’t believe how easy it was
Haha…that was hard…Its not even a zebra..
Hint: THIRD :-) haha
clever & cutee
Wow!
As soon as sebra chick said Zebra stripes I got it :P
Otherwise I would have been here all morning.
When i see the “The Hidden Tiger”i simply understands lol
Lol but there`s a part green at the neck of the back zebra….i thougt the second is leaning his head down behind the body of the first and you just see the head of the third one….but thats also an solution…xD
Haha! Very funny. So unexpected. No wonder it took me a day and night tpo figure it out, I am so dumb.
LOL very funny, I see word THIRD in the stripes and I can also see how there are 3 Zebra’s
ok, i mite b spoiling it, but do u notice how the little blurb at the top just says, “the third”????
SICK-TACULAR!!
xoxoxox
I found being number 42 after I thought i moght be first was hilarious!!!
looooooooooooool
Ha I’ve stared at the answer for ages not seeing it but seeing 1 letter but mis-interpriting it as the saying goes the eye sees what the mind wants it to see. I wanted to see one thing and couldn’t see the truth staring me in the eye because I didnt expect to see it :)
What about a fourth? Is one of the zebras pregnant??
oh… awsome. im gonna see if my friends get it
LOLZ! i got slow friends! they wont be able to find it.
but i’ll see how long it takes them to figure it out!
o gosh i was so dumb i thought there was acutually a ZEBRA.
and it wasnt. great. i was kinda disappointed
ha. couldn’t see it till i went on the tiger but then got it in seconds.
looked at this pic for like five min but I got it without the cheats thanks for the pic..
found it in 2 seconds.
Hehe i was about to get out the mangnifying glass, then i understood how dense i had been…..awesome
WOW that was something, I cant wait to see the tiger one!
I don’t get it.
oh come on. i just got it. that was dumb.
Lol I get it. They make the number 3 right?
how cool is that
THAILAND……….Written on the Front Zebra
i found it in like 5 seconds lol
cause i thought of the tiger illusion
haha i found it like 2 seconds its so cute tho i love zebras
Wow, I feel really stupid- I looked at this one right after the hidden tiger one, so it should have been easy. =.= I’m such an idiot.
Pretty good, though :)
THE THIRD ZEBRA IS TAKING THE PICTURE
……
i like your thinking, max
that was really cool, I saw the tiger one before though.
It’s the Third, not the third ;)
Once you figure one of these out the idea gets tired.
The “third” is in the strips
i uasally don’t get illusions right away but that one was pretty easy
wow when you find it you sure feel dumb
nadineee, i sure did… =(
wow i wonder if their are real animals like that
:) sooo coooool i was looking for a zebra lamo :D !! funny stuff :P
oooh yeah thats good stuff as in bed
danny, its not that they make a three if turned sideways, but the stripes spell Third
This reminds me of a XKCD comic where they say “communicating badly then acting smug when you’re misunderstood is not cleaverness.”
Found it, it’s “Words that end in GRY”, 169.
xkcd.com/169/
For those that haven’t got it. The word “third” is written on the front / right zebra’s stripes along it’s neck.
I personally thought of a pregnant zebra, which would have been at least more sensible.
HA! took me ages to find it! i was actually looking for the ACTUAL zebra but then it hit me!
Pregnant possibly?
it says THIRD on the stripes
bullshit!!!!
I feel like a dump!! wow. that easy was?
Wow…i couldn’t have done it with out z tiger comment!
I’ve seen third one that is on the lefthand side on the tree.
third one is wathing them at the moment
This is kind of lame. I was hoping for an ACTUAL zebra, hidden in all their stripes… Boo.
OMG “THIRD” is written on the front zebra!!
POOR VERY POOR
wow! that took about 10 minutes!
ohhhhhhh, i had to get help from the comments so i was looking for third wriiten as 3rd when i looked at the tiger one i relized how blonde i am. lol XD
I get it now. I was looking so hard for the zebra. I stared for like 10 minutes. Then I looked at the pattern of the stripes and was like, well I feel kinda dumb. XD
THat is odd
One of the zebras has its head down behind the second, and the third zebra is (roughly) at right angles to the other two.
LOL!!!! Awesome.
haha,,, thats very funny,, reading others comments saying theyve got it,, lols,, buts its cool,, i like this one,, \m/
Haha that’s neat. So you’re not actually looking for a third zebra. Man this effs with my brain.
This is a riddle not an optical illusion. It is simple word play. Calling it an optical illusion is very misleading and untrue thus rendering it a waste of time. Thus saith The Brain.
dont be an ass wipe.
If it’s such a waste of time, perhaps you shouldn’t reply. It would just waste more of your precious time. However, it’s not such a waste, as you probably have no life outside of the computer.
Ass wipe.
its definitely on the neck of the zebra. I think its quite clever!
press the over here botton then what happend?
It is not so much as a riddle or a optical illusion so much as just looking for the meaning of the word in the title (if you want to find it for yourself don’t read on) the strips on the zebra says third like it says where is the third not a third zebra but the word
There are theebra thirds all over the grassth.
I thought that the second zebra’s head was actually BEHIND the first one, and the farther zebra head was the third zebra’s…
i saw the word THIRD on the front zebra’s strips… that was the question… where’s the THIRD… not the third zebra…
Shes pregnant
LOL! I love this answer most! :D
the word THIRD on the zebra. its hidden on the front zebra. just look closely.
I think one zebra is pregnant.
third one is the shadow
