The Zebra Woman and Other Confusing Photos That Prove You Shouldn’t Always Trust Your Eyes
Female Centaur
Can we talk about centaurs without reminding everyone about the classic children’s book series and film adaptation, “The Chronicles of Narnia?” It was our first introduction to the mythical beasts that are part human and part horse.
And while the main centaur in that production was a guy, this woman also appears to play her part well. A female centaur is called a Centaurides. Thumbs up to the person behind the camera and a bigger shoutout to the dog for standing in the right spot to create this illusion.
The Biggest of Them All
Basketball is a sport that prioritizes jumping skills, the ability to defend the space and shoot or dunk over shorter players. This means that taller people have a better advantage in every area of the game.
We could say that this woman appears larger than life because of the positioning of the camera. But if she were truly as tall as she looks, she’d be a shoo-in for the ” tallest female basketball player.” Just like Polish pro basketballplayer, Małgorzata Dydek.
What Long Arms You Have
There’s nothing as fascinating nor heartwarming as the bond between two girlfriends. In fact, a big part of growing up female is having someone around who can relate to unique experiences and share the ups and downs of this life with you.
So it’s lovely to see these two girls smiling brightly for a photo. But what’s that in the background? A man with stretchy arms? Sorry to burst that bubble, but that hand belongs to the girl on the left.
Hey Man, Cute Shorts
Liev Schreiber is an American actor known for films like “The Omen,” “Pawn Sacrifice,” and “The French Dispatch.” So he’s a big deal in Hollywood. Of course, anyone who’s seen him on the screen can attest to the fact that this isn’t what he looks like.
Which means something strange is afoot. This time, we’ll burst the bubble a bit sooner. Schreiber only happened to be wearing a shirt a couple of shades similar to the woman. Those aren’t his denim shorts.

Wait! Let Me Explain!
No, don’t scroll past in a fit of anger! First impressions can indeed be deceiving. The young girl happens to be sitting with an adult. So, said adult is the owner of the visible thigh. Just look at the chair and notice the tiny legs peeking out from under. Believe us now?
This is one situation where that old saying about only getting one chance to make a first impression holds water. We all make snap judgments within a few seconds.
Thing, Is That You?!
‘Wednesday Addams’ is one fictional character who has endeared herself to several generations of people. And when 2022 rolled around with a new Netflix series dedicated to her, the fans went wild. They even created a TikTok dance in her honor, but that’s a story for another day.
What’s Wednesday without her trusty sidekick, the disembodied hand called ‘Thing?’ The pair always wreak havoc together. And this photo is very reminiscent of that iconic pair. Except this ‘Thing’ is missing its stitches.
Zebra Woman
We promised a zebra woman, and our word is our bond! Centaurs may be part human, part horse, but what do we call a full-bodied zebra with a human torso attached? Whatever name that is, it’s the perfect descriptor for this scene.
Scott McCloud explained once that humans can perceive shapes and images out of a couple of dots and lines. It has something to do with our tendency to see patterns where there are none. And the term for that is pareidolia.
A Sad Way to Go
Gymnastics is no joke, and it’s always interesting to see individuals who devote many years of their lives to honing their skills to perform at various events. In fact, photos like this highlight the lengths those professional athletes would go to bring the house down during their performances.
In this case, a perfectly placed chest emblem and a perfect leap into the air contributed to this image of a supposed headless gymnast. But not to worry, no losses were recorded that night!
Counting Two or Three?
“Snapping one, two, where are you?” is a lyric from Rosa Lynn’s 2022 song, “Snap.” And the counting portion is very relevant to this photo, where the woman in sunglasses attempts to hold up a peace sign for a selfie but ends up with an extra third finger.
Just kidding. We know that’s not a finger. But isn’t it funny how the woman in the background happened to be in the right place to sell the illusion of a third finger?
