Optical Illusion of The Day: Wolf and Horse Illusion

Does anyone know what a pareidolia is? I didn’t until this morning, so I’ll enlighten you. A pareidolia is an illusion wherein the mind perceives a random or obscure image or sound clearly as something more familiar. A good example would be seeing Jesus in a grilled cheese or even something as simple as seeing a goofy little happy face in a potato. Today’s wolf and horse illusion is a great example of a pareidolia…

If you’re like most people, you can probably clearly see the wolf in the white markings on the horse’s hindquarters. It’s clear as day, isn’t it? And, if were actually real, it would be pretty spectacular!

Unfortunately, this wolf and horse illusion is a Photoshop job. A pretty awesome, clever Photoshop, though! It was actually the first place winner of a DesignCrowd Photoshop contest. There were actually some pretty awesome submissions to this contest, and it’s worth checking out!

If this wolf and horse illusion looks familiar, there’s a reason for that! Remember the horse with “HORSE” written on its side?
