A variety of sprawling flora and fauna decorate the busy image, while native animals such as a cheetah, toucan, sloth, parrot, lemur, anteater and toad can be seen perched within.

The Amazon Rainforest is not just a tangled web of biodiversity but also home to an estimated 400 billion trees that release 20 billion tonnes of water into the air every day -
A single large tree able to release 1,000 litres of water in 24 hours – enough to fill 10 average-sized bathtubs, according to WWF.
Current figures suggest approximately 17% of the Amazon Rainforest has been lost already - an area the the size of France - with the first nine months of 2022 seeing the highest recorded deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon since 2016.
As World Environment Day approaches, this puzzle aims to remind us of the importance of every element in our environment, no matter how small.
Up for another challenge? Only the most eagle-eyed players will be able to locate the camouflaged cactus in seconds in this mind-boggling brainteaser.
