What, behind the rabbit?
Nah! It’s right in front of the hidden imam.
“GIRAFFE”
Got it!
Nice.
A connect the dots type of puzzle.
I’d stick my neck out, but heh, you can’t fool me. As soon as I found it, it is no longer hidden, so I can’t have found it. It’s sort of a Zen thing.
Well spotted.

The sound of one-handed applause to you.
Oh boy..time for new glasses
I can’t even see the first giraffe…
The word Giraffe is printed vertically on the neck of the giraffe
Shhht!
Technically the word GIRAFFE.
Is this Professor Richard Wiseman? He of “Paranormality” fame? (Excuse my ignorance….)
Yes — as you will see when you follow the link in the OP!

Good job everyone. Now find the hidden map of Venice.
Forget about the hidden giraffe. If you turn the picture upside down you will see between the giraffe’s front right leg and its belly a clear portrait of the Holy Ghost (in a Munch-like scream pose). Miracle!
All I see is naked people and dolphins.
Yeah, even when I sleep.
Rather like the hidden cat here
Actually, there are two cats in the kitteh’s fur if you look a little closer. Hint: it’s to the left of the letter “C”…
No, wait! There’s actually 3 if you look at the second picture!
I’m usually awful at these things, as I have poor eyesight. But this one jumped out at me.
It just goes to show that first impressions are not the ‘be all and end all’.
Cute.
Can anyone see a faint outline of the Three Wise Men? (hint – the pathetic underbelly of humanity) 😛
Thought it would be harder. 😉
I think it could be better done if the letters were outlined by the splotches.

PS. Now “subscribe” doesn’t seem to be working…
No probs whatsoever on my PC/Windows platform… 😉
Hmm… I’m getting updates now. But they were going astray for a while there… maybe there was a washing machine involved…

If that is a hidden giraffe, it deserves a Darwin Award.
Wow. That’s MUCH easier when not looking at it on a tiny smartphone screen.
A dirty trick. I was looking for an actual giraffe for almost 10 min. Then I slouched back in my chair, “relaxed my eyes” and there it was.
Clear proof of the existence of God. And since it’s in English, proof that the Church of England is the One True Church.
Ceci n’est pas un giraffe.
not to hard
Well, the instructions were not written properly. It should have said: “Find the hidden ‘GIRAFFE'”. But, as usual in riddles, they throw off the trail.
I think I see Virgin Mary among the palm leaves.
On reflection, I think I’d rather have found a hidden carafe… Cheers!

Your Gravitar is all lit up! Very nice, Ant. I like it.
A new look for spring!

Now if all animals and plants came with their name already showing, would that be acceptable evidence for an Intelligent Designer?
Remind me again why I registered with WordPress. Now it insists I login each time I post and to top it off, tells me I do not have permission to access the dashboard and so throws my comment away.
Not amused.
