The
silhouette of the panda cub is concealed within the weeds
on the right side of mother panda... Even though there
are no lines that close the shape of the cub, the flowers
and leaves give enough fragmentary information to our
brains to make the whole image meaningful. Such figures
are called 'illusory figures'. The mental phenomenon
in which shapes are perceived to be occluding other shapes
even when the shapes themself are not drawn is called
'Modal completion'.

The Panda cub that can be seen to the right of the Large
Panda is actually leaves of flowers/plants.

Is there a solution online to this puzzle? It's the first
time I've visited your site, and I believe the baby panda
is the mother's left, hidden in the flowers. I see the baby's
eyes, nose & mouth and ears formed BY the flowers.
