"Optical illusions come in all forms, but the good ol' fashioned accidental photo illusion has to be my favourite variety. From perplexing perspectives to that iconic blue (or is it gold?) dress, photo optical illusions continue to stump the internet, often sparking hot online debate. Sometimes it's the most unassuming pictures that make the best optical illusions, and this innocuous image is no different."
"Behold, an innocent snap of a pig grazing in the grass. Oh, wait, no, it's a cat. Actually, I'm not sure... Folks on Reddit were perplexed by the image, with many divided on the great cat vs pig debate. Others even saw more unconventional creatures, with one user commenting, "At first my brain saw an albino hippo," while others claimed they saw an owl, a dog and even a fictional animal hybrid christened the "Caterpig"."
Accidental photo optical illusions often produce confusion through perspective and partial occlusion. An image shows a small animal in grass that initially appears pig-like because shadows and black markings obscure the tail and part of the head. Many viewers debated whether the animal was a pig or a cat, and some reported seeing an owl, a dog, an albino hippo, or a fictional 'Caterpig'. Close inspection reveals the animal is a cat; the shrubbery hides distinguishing features and creates a swine-like silhouette. The image demonstrates how partial visual information and contrast can produce strong misperceptions.
