Imagine finding yourself in a dense jungle with only 12 seconds to locate a hidden tiger before it pounces.
Your survival hinges on your ability to spot the animal in time.

This scenario isn’t one you’d want to test in reality, but maintaining eye contact might be your best bet if you ever face such a situation.
