Bob Guckert from Pittsburgh (USA) emailed one of his discoveries. It’s a logo for the Pittsburgh Zoo. Apparently, he found out that the logo holds an interesting optical illusion. He knew of this picture for sometime, but only after visiting our website, he started to see things differently. This is what Bob wrote in his email: “This is an optical illusion I have seen for many years, but didn’t notice till I started visiting your website. Thanks for making me aware of my surroundings”. If you remember, Mira foundation had a similar poster for it’s own campaign. Illusion works same way Rubin’s Vase works, and all other similar illusions we posted earlier, are just a variation of the same principle. So, can you spot the illusion hidden in the poster below? It’s easy!

I see the fish at the bottom and the 2 animals in the white spots on either side of the tree.
I see a gorilla and a Lion as white shapes.
there are two lions too, male and female.
Found it, pretty cool!
2 fishes
2 birds
1 gorila
1 lion
Yeah, I’m from Pittsburgh and I noticed this illusion about 6 or 7 years ago, I’m surprised they haven’t changed the logo of the zoo yet. It is clever though, so I guess thats why they haven’t.
….and a partridge in a pear tree…..
in the upper part there seems to be a streched version of the world map
nice one!
I can’t figure out what’s in the left…
I see 2 fish at the bottom, 2 birds, 2 lions at both sides of the tree and I think there’s also a whale at the bottom on the left. I don’t see a gorilla…where is it? Oh and on the top on the left side…I think I see a sqirrel.
I think there are:
2 fish
1 whale
2 lions, a male and a female
2 birds
1 squirrel
that is pretty cool. i love illusions like this, they are so clever. and unusual ones like this are better than the vase one you see all the time. i can also see how you wouldn’t necassarily see the illusion if you weren’t looking for it- it’s subtle.
found them all, keep up the good work!
nice. very nice.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has trash cans with a logo that have a similar effect. You can find a picture of these cans here: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/229/465732658_ef28ecb7e1.jpg?v=0.
Wow! Did anybody notice between all the animals, there’s a big TREE????? Or is it all in my imagination?
i see a dionsaur and a hand and a person
You would say I’m a crazy, but I see a eagleĀ“s wing in the root
cool illusion
From my home city! Awesome! I never noticed either..
same thing what anonymous said
IT'S A MONKEY & A LION! And then there's fishes at the bottom!
This reminds me of the Old Milwaukee Brewers logo: http://www.sportslogos.net/images/logos/54/64/full/1179.gif
When I was a kid my mom showed me the “m” and the “b” in the glove. I had never noticed it before she pointed it out.
i see the gorilla and the tiger and the two fish at the bottom
i really think its a big tree below all of that
I see:
2 birds,
2 fish,
a gorilla,
a lion,
a whale,
a horse head, a hedgehogand a baby chick in the leaves,
a slug,
a squirel,
a big cat head in the branches,
and a crocodile head at the bottom where the fish are (fish are in its mouth)
very cool
I see a panda. Does anyone else or is it just me?
is it just me, or are there a bunch of little critters in the branches of the tree. i think i see a snail and a giraffe
Can you please tell me where you find all these animals? I can only see the birds and the fishes…
Does it not seem that there is a woman at the bottom? I don’t know. x]
i just LOVE these, and i get even a bigger kick out of the comments that follows…especially when people “see” things that just arent there :) This design has a BIG tree, the outline of both a gorilla and a lioness, with the two birds flying above the tree, and two fish leaping out of the water UNDER the tree. After checking with the zoo officials, THAT IS IT…there is no more hidden animals in the logo…But, still…VERY nicely done.
ok the fish and birds are intentionally in there, duhh. gosh you guys are dumb.
theres two lions though, on either side of the tree
Lion and Gorilla. I wonder if the people who made this logo know about this.
i see a gorilla and a lion at the trunk of the tree and fish at the bottom of it in the roots.
All I can see is a couple of birds at the top and a couple of fish at th bottom!!!!!!!
… it looks a girl lying on the floor with her hand straight up holding something. She has her legs bent though!!
