I saw the village too first, but the trunk to the elephant is between the tree and hut on the left.

The first thing I saw was an elephant, but that might have been heavily influenced by the subject line ”Help me find the elephant!”

I saw the village first, the elephant takes a little imagination.

Look at the formation the birds are flying in.

I saw the elephant first, probably because as I scrolled I saw the top 2/3 of the image before the bottom 1/3.

Oh wait, Eld are you actually asking for help? The trunk is the space between the tree snd the left hut. The first bird is his eye. The rest of the birds complete the outline of his back. Second hut is the space between his legs.

Thanks, I don't think I would have found it.

I saw the elephant immediately ....but we’d been told there was one there. Next time don’t give us such a massive clue!

cute, but why are you "in for high praise" if you see the elephant first?

Floral, I actually neededhelp.

Oh, sorry. I thought you’d found it and were setting a challenge.

The fence is his toes/feet.

What Lily said. Saw the village first and then the elephamt after I refocused. So what higher power does that give someone? I often easily see two things in one of these riddle pictures.

`I wonder if it’s not so much what you see first, as where your eyes focus first. If I focus on the huts, then I see the village. But if I focus on the space above, then I see the elephant.

I had to back away from my screen to see the elephant and would not have seen it without the prompt. The bird on the far left is his eye.

Saw the village, squinted then saw the elephant.

A thing I learned a long time ago, when those kind of 3D puzzles were popular, is to relax your eyes, almost let them cross but not quite. Hard to describe but it does help with visual puzzles.

I think it helps to be used to looking at negative space.

I agree with FOAS that I probably wouldn't have noticed, if I hadn't been looking for it 😃

P.S. I work with kids. They notice things that look like other things all the time 🙂

I easily saw the elephant, but the two things, a morel mushroom and a puffball, are those the village? (I know they are huts, but is there a village somewhere that I'm not seeing, or are they the village)?

I started with some disbelief about the presence of the big beast ... and it took some concentration and imagination to get the drift.

Only, yes, they the village.

Smurf houses.

its right there in the open air
