If you think that seeing is always believing, then you are mostly right but not always. You see, there can be things that look like they are one thing, when in fact they are not. Simply seeing is not enough! You need to really look carefully and ask yourself if your eyes are not playing tricks on you.
You don’t believe me? These 50 photos will prove just how much you are not seeing at a glance!
1. The shark from Finding Nemo
The resemblance of this canyon to the shark in the film
Finding Nemo is quite uncanny. You can’t miss that pointy shark nose and wide mouth!
2. Do you see Woody Harrelson?
We mean no offense to the famous Hollywood actor, but this guy’s tummy just looks like him. It’s a photo taken at the perfect moment!
3. Walnut or tiny Chewbacca?
We know we’re looking at a walnut, but the image of Chewbacca is very obvious on this one. This is a phenomenon called pareidolia which causes us to see patterns in random stimulus, or basically seeing faces on things.
Here’s another case of pareidolia and we’re sure you know who we are thinking about while looking at this image. Looks extraterrestrial, huh?
Who doesn’t know about the funny Scrat from
Ice Age? He’s basically a part of my childhood! Doesn’t this faucet looks just like the cartoon character?
A few folds and wrinkles, and there you have it! We now have a “sorting road cone”, just like
Harry Potter‘s sorting hat!
7. This adorable extension socket
Groot is a character from Marvel Studios’
Guardians of the Galaxy. He is absolutely loved by many fans worldwide, especially when he became a much younger version. This extension socket looks just like the adorable fictional character.
8. Do you see the astrophysicist in this image, too?
Famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is known for his mind-blowing theories and his condition Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. This neuro-degenerative disease causes damage to muscles and nerves over time, making the scientist look like his head and shoulder are glued to each other, just like how this chair looks like.
Any
Star Wars fan will instantly recognize the image in this cloud. Those pointy ears certainly belong to Yoda!
10. This banana looks like Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson may be past his prime, but we still recognize his iconic smile as the Joker. This banana strongly reminds me of him.
11. Party all night or plants under the night lights?
You may think that this is how a sold-out and rocking concert looks like. But if you look closely, you’ll realize you’re only looking at plants under colorful night lights!
Cowabungga! Thhis swing looks just like Donatello, the teenage mutant ninja turtle. I wonder where the other ninjas are?
13. What’s going on here?
Oh, okay, here’s a guy with really long woody legs. Or are those really his legs?
These guys are not siblings. In fact, they are total strangers wearing the same clothes and attending the very same wedding!
Who are you thinking about while looking at this kettle? That’s a Hitler kettle, I must say!
16. Creepy glitch in the matrix
There’s something creepy going on in this image. The woman wearing a maroon hoody looks like she has three legs!
Are you curious about how a perfect camouflage looks like? This chick is definitely born to be hidden in plain sight in this place.
I get it, some pups can be quite tall. But, this one has really long human legs!
19. Not what you think it is!
You may say that this photo is an example of a rare picture of a bee mid-flight. But, there is more to it than just flight. The insect is actually photograpped mid-pooping!
20. The remnants of an ancient snail
Looking at this dry wood reminds me of a snail. It actually looks like the remains of a huge ancient snail, don’t you think?
This neighborhood looks boring. Even the houses look like they’re about to fall asleep!
Is this a levitating trash can? Nope, just a garbage can placed on slightly elevated land.
This seagull flies so fast, almost like a jet plane! But, is he really?
This man might not be as excited as he appears to be. But those zeroes perfectly aligned with his eyes give him a really surprised reaction!
25. Is that you, Chewbacca?
We see a group of friends taking a photo with Chewbacca behind them. But hey, that’s not Chewbacca, just a woman with an unusual hairdo!
Are we seeing through this kitty? Nope, his ear is just perfectly aligned with the man’s forehead!
27. Ball eclipsing the sun
This is an example of a photo snapped at a perfect moment. It may look like we’re seeing an eclipse, but that’s just a basketball eclipsing the sun!
Have you heard of ambigrams? It’s a word that when turned upside down, makes another word! This box may say it contains something “used” but it actually is a “posh” item!
29. When lightning hits a rainbow
Is lightning really hitting the rainbow in this one-of-a-kind photo? This is another moment shot with perfect timing.
This lady’s head may look like it’s gone, but that’s not really what’s happening here. She’s actually seated beside a mirror!
Here’s another headless woman image that is not really the case. That’s another mirror trick for you!
Looks like we have another head-related illusion, but this time a pup looks like it has two heads in one body. That’s just perfect positioning but you are actually looking at two dogs.
33. Is that 253 I’m seeing?
Someone got into a taxi with a curly-haired driver. They could not help but notice how his hair looks like the number 253!
34. Dog on his way to work
Does this dog belong to a new race of self-sufficient pups who go to their work via train? Nope, just a simple pup sitting next to his owner, who happened to be leaning too far back in his seat.
35. Fat pigeons in the parking lot
Pigeons alert! These giant plump birdies look like they are out to investigate the cars in the parking lot. Or are they really that huge?
36. These are not Brontosauruses
Am I really looking at a group of minuscule Brontosauruses? Nope, just a group of cute of coatis!
37. This is not a huge tornado
Woah, what a huge tornado! Just kidding, you’re looking at an icicle.
This mom looks like she has really small arms. But looking at her closely, you’ll realize that those are her baby’s cute arms!
39. The meat makes me dizzy
This meat looks like it’s out of focus. And no, your eyes are not playing trick on you, that’s just how it really looks like.
Is this man floating? He’s just standing next to a darkened part of the road!
41. You’ve got great legs, man!
Wow, this guy’s legs are smooth and shapely. Oops, they’re actually the woman’s legs!
Nope, the bride doesn’t have her legs on top of her groom’s shoulders. It’s because her husband has a two-toned vest!
43. The oldest basketball player?
Are we looking at the oldest basketball player here? Nope, he just hung his head too low.
This cat has only one massive arm, and no body. Is it a mutant? Nope, just a cat trying out a weird position while watching his master get confused.
45. Nope, he’s not trying to eat the pole
Hey, he’s not trying to eat the pole! He’s just chilling beside it.
Centaurs are not real, right? Then what is this woman doing in this photo?
Believe it or not, you are not looking at a collage. The wall and on one building is just perfectly aligned with the next building from the angle where this photo was taken.
48. The levitating furball
Flying pup? Oh no, he isn’t. Just a puppy that loves to jump and was snapped by a camera on mid-air.
49. A giant prehistoric bird, maybe?
It seems like we are looking at a gigantic pre-historic bird here. But, nope, he’s just a pigeon photographed from atop the tree.
50. A cat with a human hand
And finally, here’s a cat who can lend you a hand anytime. Except that it’s not really his hand and you’re just looking at a painting behind the unsuspecting kitty.
