It took me a few minutes to find this thing, but now that I have found it, I can’t understand why it took me so long and it jumps in my face every time I look at it.
You are not referring to the big giraffe blatantly in front of you in the picture, right?
The posed question is if we can find the “hidden” giraffe, and hidden being the operative word?
Then I must either be an idiot or half blind, because I can only see the blatantly obvious giraffe, and I’ve been staring at the damn picture for 5min.
Having previously seen an hidden tiger and a zebra and a very rude tropical fish I saw the hidden giraffe even before I looked closely at the drawing. Then I saw the minarets where giraffes are usually hidden in Istanbul so now I’m thinking there maybe more than one.
I got it within about ten seconds – I initially looked at the surroundings, before wondering if an image of a giraffe was hidden inside the obvious giraffe – then I noticed the neck…
Thanks for this one, Richard and team Found the hidden giraffe straight away (in fact, there are two giraffes in the picture, but the first one’s not very well hidden ). Thanks for another healthy little brain workout
I found it after about a minute. Very cute!!
And I must say that there is a *reason* I don’t read the comments until afterwards. Why do some self-important people ignore the request to NOT post the answer. What a jerk!
Nope, still can’t see it…. and I’ve read the ‘spoiler’. I can see the three hear-no, see-no, tell-no Monkeys though…. Is that worth a prize of some kind?
I hope I’m not spoiling the game for everyone but I found 2 hidden giraffes. I found the word “giraffe” on the neck of the giraffe and also the outline of a giraffe standing behind it. Look to the right of the giraffe. The space between the giraffe and tall minaret and rounded dome forms part of its head and neck. There is also an eye represented by a black dot. The body is not visible but you can see part of its tail just on the left of the giraffe. Or am I seeing things?

complements of a smart ass kid at lcctc XD
I found it
Found it! Took longer than it should have.
Yes! Spotted!
Hehe…
Took a minute, but I got there. Very cool.
Yep, I see it.
Unusually, for some reason I got it in about one second, despite never having seen the picture before. Wow.
Found it eventually.

I was afraid this was happening to me too, but I found it eventually.
Scroll down and get a spoiler.
Yep, must be half blind. Would NOT have seen it without the spoiler. *sigh*
10 seconds
Ha! Took about twenty seconds. Nice one.
4 seconds!
A bit tricky, but yeah I found the “giraffe”.
Spotted the “hidden” giraffe.
“Spotted” the hidden “giraffe”.
LOL took some time
Took me 15 seconds.
May help to copy the picture to your favourite image editing sofware and invert the colours.
Ah! Yes. Sneeky
It’s behind the palm tree
The word G-I-R-A-F-F-E is written on the neck of the giraffe.
I said:
!!!!!!!!
SPOILER ALERT!
!!!!!!!
Why didn’t it post that?
So spoil it for everyone.
The word giraffe is not a giraffe, however if you stare at the word giraffe for a long time………
can you find hidden idiot !!
……. But the word “word” is a word…..
@anonymous
Do you also think it’s fun telling children that there is no Santa Claus?
i can’t find it!
Yes, almost straight away. I like this one
Yes, it only took a few seconds of searching.
What do you mean…oh wait, Yes!
Whoever posted the answer under “anonymous” should be blocked.
This giraffe is pregnant and there is another small giraffe inside it. It’s just the giraffe you would like to see (like in Little Prince).
Yes. But the baby giraffe will be called Damian.
Made me smile.
SPOILER ALERT! – two posts down.
Sorry for hijacking your post Anataboga.
Ohhhh. There it is.
Yea cool.. GIRAFFE haha
Getting used to these ones now. Found it in seconds. Very good though….Surprised Mr Anonymous found it with his inability to READ!!!
Found it after staring at the picture for half a minute
On No Not Even Closely Knotty
Found it pretty quick. Very clever, I like!

Becky,
No, there’s an obvious Giraffe, and a hidden giraffe.
About 30 seconds, squinty eyes to the rescue again.

I have had to look at the spoiler post,
I would never had found it,..
I didn’t really like this one.
22″
nice!
Hah, instantly! Must’ve just been looking in the right place

So obvious when you see it.
Your inconsistent use of inverted commas is deplorable – especially for a professor who should set an example in clear writing
Inconsistent use? No use, perhaps? Spoiler proved quite useful!
It’s like this one:
Find the hidden tiger
http://www.moillusions.com/2007/06/hidden-tiger-illusion.html
There are some other cool illusions here as well
I see it. Fun puzzle!
Ha! Cute.
found it thats a cool way of making you think.
Hm found it after 2 seconds, it was the first thing I saw besides the obvious one.
I cheated – used the magnifier! And there it was. Well, didn’t have my reading glasses on!!
20 seconds, after knowing what to look for…
about 5 seconds!
Spotted it, made me smile!
Found it in under 10 seconds (probably an accident)
i found five giraffes up ’till now but i bet there are more…
I should be able to see it, but it’s probably covered up by that camelopard dominating the picture.
Thanks for this one, Richard and team

found it! easy ……….
Nope, still can’t see it…. and I’ve read the ‘spoiler’. I can see the three hear-no, see-no, tell-no Monkeys though…. Is that worth a prize of some kind?
Got it! 30 seconds or so
Really cool! Couldn’t see it though before I read the spoiler…
Wow, fairly quickly for once!
Took about 5 minutes hee hee not like me. Very good.
Found it!
Good one!!
Thank goodness for the spoiler. Funny! Love it!
Found it….very tricky but FUN!
got it in about a minute not the best but its a good way to make you think.
Took a few minutes, always seems easier when you know others have found it first…
I found it as soon as I realized I was supposed to be looking for a giraffe and not a giraffe.
It would have been accurate if you asked the question in all-caps. Still made me smile.
About a minute
Cannot unsee
Very good i like it.
Nice. Took me about 30 seconds to spot it. Then I laughed because it was so obvious.

I don’t have the words to explain it.
I found it. Interesting how the image captivates our attention in such a way it turns very difficult thinking “out of the box”. Very good.
YES GOT IT IN MILLIE SECONDS
(^^^)
