Can you guess what does this image show? No? Don’t worry, it isn’t one of those Sigmund Freud testing cards. I can assure you it is actually an original (old) photograph, made in black and white technique, and wasn’t digitally tempered in any way. The solution is quite simple, in fact.

i really dont have a clue!
I initially thought that it was an elephant on its side.
Then i thought it was a birdcage, but i really cant see anything!
Turn the photo 90° clockwise, that larger black spot on the right is someone wearing an eskimo hood. Well, it looks likt it.
I see a cow’s head. It’s eye is that dot in the middle, it’s nostrils are at the bottom just left of centre.
mooooo
Looks like an old x-ray of a skull viewed from the side.
Oh, and a big hello from Serbia. Great blog!
i too see a cows head and i saw ir before reading the posts
AH yeah – can see the cows head now!
Its a cow – looking at you
I can see the cow head now but I saw the skull the first time I looked at it.
I see a turtle on the left and little bear on the right.
Nope I still don’t see a cow’s head.
It looks like an old x-ray.
the hindenburgh
It’s a cow
Hi,
I have no idea about the photo.
I tought it was a *Rorschard* testing card ;-)
(Did Freud had any testing card like that?)
This is an x-ray of a profile (teeth on left) of someones head who was possibly shot in the face and the pack off the skull is blown out. Maybe JFK.
It’s a COW for god’s ske :)
here’s the solution.
I’m stickin’ with the x-ray!!!!!!
Wow so its a Cow
I would have never guesses that
from the first time i saw the pic i knew it was a cow…… weird how you cant see it :)
LOL At first I thought it was an evil demented pig. Now that I found out its a cow, I’m speachless. I’m NEVER WRONG ABOUT ILLUSIONS!!!
It’s a cow. But I could swear it’s a skull from the side.
Well, at first glance it looks like a skull, but on closer inspection it looked like a lady shopping for bras: The lower left is the wire shopping trolly, the upper left is the lady with possibly a fur coat, and on the upper right is a bra.
Of course, the cow makes more sense, now.
i saw a cow clearly, and then found the skull (because I’ve learned by adding this widget that you should never look only once!). Is there anything on the right side?
lol i have the original cards. the ans is a cow.
Duh, its a cow
it’s a cow….saw it strait away
Its a COW
its a x-ray of a human skull you dumbos!!!!!
COWW!

Sam Cassell.
is it a skull???
vier…OMG!! its me naked! >.< … tss of course it’s a cow
Hi! I stared at it for about 3 minutes and then my 5 year old daughter came up and looked at the computer screen and said “It’s a cow”. Then I could totally see it.
It looks like a skull AND a cow. Nice one.
i cant see the skull but i can see the cow when i first looked at it i saw grenade like the green day thingy (lower left) and a cat sideways (upper right) and some random trees (lower right) but i guess my imagination was at work
a cow
at first it reminded me of the cover of Led Zeppelin I, the Hindenburgh.. but after i read the comment about the cow i see that too =D
The first thing I saw was a skull…and thats the ONLY thing I see.
i saw a cows head in a second. i guess my brain is good then
at first time a saw a cow… tell if it´s anythingelse… please dont let me die curious…

I see half of a skull on the left of the picture too…the scribbly bit is the mouth and the kinda roundish black blob above it is the eye. I couldn’t see the cow until I looked at the solution!

It kinda looks like a hockey mask though……kool…..

At first I saw in the picture as a whole a face that sort of resembles Jason’s face with the mask on and then I saw the cow.
its a footprints on the left of the picture.. its a ground picture in black and white mode
i see a grenade on the left :p
Fabulous! I don’t think I ever would have seen it until someone said it was a cow…..am I blind or what? LOL
This photo has been traveling around for years, my mother started carrying a 1″ x 1″ copy in her billfold in 1952 to show people “her cow”, 90% couldn’t see it. Actually the one I have is not quite so obvious, but it is the same photo.
i dont have a clue what it is
IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE THE PREVIOUSLY UNIDENTIFYABLE IMAGE, ONCE REVEALED ITS TRUE MEANING, BECOMES ABRUPTLY SELF-EVIDENT, ONCE AND FOR ALL REPLACING ANY POSSIBLE FORMER OWN’S MENTAL REPRESENTATION OF THE UNKNOWN PICTURE.
OMG, I finally got it, even after some pointed it out me I couldn’t see it. Owesome
wtf at first is saw a skull,……. like i could see the teeth and everything. Now i see the cows head, but i also still see the skull, its not a full skull just kind of cut in half…. well a little less then half its to the top left going down ¬¬
dang cow! couldnt see it…….
at first i saw on the left a kind of reptile. But after a while i saw the head of a deer or a young cow. Very nice!!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE BEING DAFT, COULDN’T SEE IT, THEN LOOKED FROM A DISTANCE…….VERY GOOD, AND A VERY CUTE COW X THANKS
First it looked like the skull of mickey mouse.
I finally got it! I’ve been looking at this picture for ages and suddenly, after reading all these responses, it just appeared in a flash. Very cool…
If you turn it to the right, it is looks like a turtle at the top and a cat on the bottom. But I do NOT see any cow anywhere!!
I see it, it was realy hard, but now i see 2 cows, second is water on upper right. (Sorry for bad english)
