The Zebra Woman and Other Confusing Photos That Prove You Shouldn’t Always Trust Your Eyes
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!
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.
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.
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.

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?
A Confusing Tale
Teenagers hanging at a game shop is nothing new. With many parents complaining nowadays that their young’uns spend long hours glued to their computer screens, it’s nice to see said young’uns spending time outside of their homes in the company of friends.

We only wish they had thought it through before taking this photo. Because now we’re left to unravel the mystery of the missing limbs. Girl in glasses is the only one accounted for. Everyone else is a jumbled mess.
Shadow Tells Another Story
In the age of Instagram and other photo-sharing apps, we’ve all become adept at taking photos of ourselves in places. And it’s not even necessary to pack a camera for a trip to Europe or some other location. With the camera on smartphones nowadays, we’re covered.

But one could find the perfect spot, wear the perfect outfit and have the weather cooperate only to take the worst possible photos. That’s what happens when the shadow decides to ruin the show.
Is it a Conjoined Horse?
The domestication of horses has to be one of man’s greatest achievements. Because once that was out of the way, it allowed us to use them for sport, transportation, agriculture, and even in war.

But the storied history of horses doesn’t just end there. It appears there’s been a change in its evolution, and somehow two-headed horses are now being bred. It’s either that or our eyes are being deceptive. Let’s hope you have a better go at figuring this out.
Beer or Towel
To have two football heavyweights in one photo is no small feat. While Arjen Robben is now retired, David Alaba has remained active on the field. And last we heard, he’d even signed a contract with Real Madrid, the former’s old team.

With that out of the way, it’s nearly impossible to believe that this photo was taken just as Alaba poured a glass of beer on Robben. Because it sure looks like the latter threw a towel over his head!
