I did not spot the gorilla! Was concentrating on the heart and nodules. (Alabama MD.)

I found the gorilla! Hooray! The problem for people who don't spot it – I don't know how long they had – is that no des criptors are given for the gorilla image except its relative size. It's like police warning the public there's a criminal suspect running around, but don't include any info about the suspect's appearance; they know we know it's a human being. One wonders if there's any variation in spotting success related to people's psychological variations such as doggedness, or whether they are hunters or birders, etc.
