Adnan Abosh, the person who sent the newest illusion, wants to know whether there are two zebras in the picture, or only one with mirror effect. Adnan probably knows the answer, same as I do, but would still like to see how you see it. This is his email: “Dear Sir, I love your website, I visit it daily. Keep up the good work. See the zebra picture below, you might like to publish it.” This particular submission is very similar to the one with Two Horses and One Head, and Puzzled Cows.

Pretty good this one… looks v. much like a mirror at first glance but you look further in and it becomes like a spot the difference: different stripes, folded neck skin on the turning zebra, the ear of the not turning one, taller not turning, tilted head etc. etc.
Very nice!! First!!
Took me a while to see the mirror. But then I saw the two heads put together form a head in the middle, looking straight at you.
i see two zebras because (*SPOILERS*) the zebras are actually different. look at the stripes
its quite obvious its two zebras
*SPOILERS*
you can see the nose of the other zebra behind the left neck
great photo! They are two-compare the patterns!
Have just seen Madagascar 2 with the kids so I loved this beautiful picture of two almost identical zebra - yes you can see the very tip of the second zebras mouth blow the neck of the 1st
There is two zebras! i can see others nose!! :D
Yay! first to comment
there are 2:) look on the stripes on necks
it is TWO zebras actually– we see the head of the one on the left.
the other zebra’s head is behind it. To the left of the zebra’s snout, you see a black object peeking up from behind its body. that is the other zebra’s snout! really cool illusion-i think the zebra pattern really adds something…
it’s two zebras: you can see the second one’s mouth down below the neck of the first one.
Good illusion though!
I,m guessing it’s two zebras because of subtle differences in the stripes on the necks, but moreso because the background isn’t mirrored - unless it’s photoshopped.
2 ziberas easy to tell the strips are not the same, but very cool pic
There’s two zebra’s here you can tell cause the body’s dont have the same stripe markings, its just one zebra’s head behind another while the other is looking at the camera. Very nice effect though, it was very puzzling at first
Love your site.
The background is different, as are the stripe patterns on the zebra.
i think there are two Zebras. the stripes are different?
Btw 1st Cmment?? probably not.
1 ZEBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it’s so obvious
jk, (there are two) it amazes me at how many people think it is necessary to say “2 zebras” after it has been said one-hundred and something times
(and how many people say first comment)
Love the website btw
if yu look behind the right ear it easly proves 2 zebras
2 zebras. you can see the nose of the other one ;D
It can’t be a mirror, since the scenery is different on the sides.
:P
There are two zebras - it’s not a mirror because
1. The left and right backgrounds are different
2. Their stripes are different.
For the right Zebra, you can just barely see the bottom of its muzzle on the left zebra. The head is the head of the left zebra.
Nice illusion. ^^
It’s a great illusion! That’s what it’s meant to be. Those of you “experts” that claim everything you don’t understand is “photo shopped” quite frankly don’t know what you are talking about. If this was, as you say, “shopped” the little inconsistencies would have been removed. The snout, as observed by a previous poster, would have been removed. The stripes would be the same and the manes would be identical. Photo Shop, and similar products, do have a “mirror” capability, but it won’t do what you see in this image, as well as the others linked to in the accompanying text. Instead of criticizing, enjoy. If you can’t do that, take your negative comments somewhere else. We come here to enjoy the efforts of Vurdlak, not to be “educated” by someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about.
FIRST!! lol…
:D
This is a great illusion, at first glance I had no idea if it was 2 zebras or a mirror! But then I noticed the different stripe patterns and the angle of the neck on the left zebra. But it looks like the head has 3 ears…
haha too easy! 2 Zs. Nice try though.
Look behind the right ear you will see another ear. Also compare the stripes on their necks totally different….My answer two different one…
CREEPY!
maybe they’re conjoined twins…:P
2 zebra’s
2 zebras
2 zebras cause when you look at the stripes you can see they are not the same!!!
Well, you’d think it was mirror. It’s two, because although the face looks similair on both sides, it isn’t exact.
