Reading the title, and understanding it came directly from me, I suppose adds some weight to the actual Leopard Illusion you see below. It’s hard for me to explain how this illusion came to be, without revealing the actual solution, thus ruining the surprise-effect for you. There is much relevant info and background for it, but for now I’ll retain myself just on revealing the author behind it – the magnificent Craig Tracy. First thing you’ll notice is that it’s not some photo of an actual animal, rather a realistically painted picture. But you’re still far from seeing the illusion. Only tip I can give you, is that leopard’s eyes were painted on a concrete floor. I suggest you examine the picture more closely before seeing this final hint. I’ll monitor the forthcoming ratings, and am eager to see if you agree with me that this must be one of the best optical illusions ever created!

    Wow!! That explains why I enjoyed looking it at for so long. hypnotic.

  3. Lola says:

    That’s all? The nose is a woman’s behind?

    What do I know? It beats the hell out of the Muller-Lyer illusion.

    A leopard, a woman’s behind, and also two penguins. In the middle of the leopard’s nose split, go up, and there are two symmetric penguins Curling and looking down.

    It’s a butterfly.

    Don’t look like she’s standing, look at it as if she’s doggystyle with her arms stretched out upward.

  8. hello says:

    okay leopard face with woman’s body, wtf? okay? but i also see a butterfly right where the nose is
    i dont even think this should make it to the top 100,000 best illusions. i dont know, i almost feel ripped off for some reason lol

    What straight man would feel cheated by this illusion? I can’t understand the criticism.

    Hmmmm…Does the chandelier complete the eye? :D

    I guess you’d only feel cheated if you didn’t appreciate how much planning and sheer talent went into creating this. Anybody who has ever tried to paint on a canvas knows THAT can be difficult, much less on a human body–and getting it to match so seamlessly and perfectly with what’s already painted on the floor is insane. For anybody who feels that this isn’t an adequate illusion, try to create a better one!

    This painting is near perfect. The only real seam line I see is where her arms are spread out, near the arm pit and shoulder (moreso on the right). It’s fascinating to see how the shape in a cat’s nose mimics this particular stance and shape of the human body. It takes a really gifted eye to envision such a thing. Does anybody know the model’s name? :P

  12. I think its a fantastic illusion!!! kept my eyes glued.

  13. Curio says:

    Um… A woman’s behind was the first thing I saw, and I’m a girl. The “penguins” thing is a bit of a stretch, though.

  15. Sara says:

  16. alex says:

  17. Moody says:

    k I’m looking hard and I’m thinking well this is lame…..BUT THEN A WOMAN’S BODY APPEARS RIGHT BEFORE ME AND I FALL…..well i didnt actualy fall but you get the idea

  18. Anna says:

    Hardly the best optical illusion ever created. I don’t even think it’s an optical illusion. It’s well done, but hardly brilliant.

    I saw the actual painting in a gallery in the miracle mile shop’s in Las Vegas, the guy who painted this has a bunch of really cool painting of painted people
