Don’t get angry on me today… I know this illusion is nothing spectacular, but it’s still regular, and has that old-school smell. What do you see in the picture on your right? Is it a dead duck (lying one for animal lovers), or a hiding rabbit? I dunno, but what I know is that we had three versions of this very same illusion already. First one was more than simple, then came the second (enhanced) version, and finally – there was this photoshop contest, where authors created Modern Reflections of Some Old School optical illusions.
If you ask me, I sill think Frog or a Horse wins it. Anyway, I found this rubber toy floating around the internet, and if you take a closer look, you’ll see it’s some sort of real-life replica of today’s illusion. Sit the toy in one position, you get a duck, slant it to the right, you get a rabbit. How do they expect us play with it, when we don’t even know what it is!! *Shigh…

goooon
Would you call that a “rabbuk” or a “duckunny?”
lol thats soo sik
Its a Ducbit….
took me a couple of seconds to see the duck in the first one and the rabbit in the second, a bit of a worry on such a basic illusion, I like it!
not the most spectacular of optical illusions but still pretty cool (YAY! MY 2nd first post!)
why is the second picture literally just a picture of the first picture but tilted. see the rectangular square? it’s not significant, yet it really bothers me. Why couldn’t they have just tilted the toy? It’s obviously meant to stand both ways, the illusion is too obvious. I find this quite perturbing.
oh wow thats amazing!
seen better of its kind, duck in bad angle
kool
Can’t you do better than this? A rabbit and a dead duck. You can give us more credit than this.
Agree that the horse/frog illusion is much better.
One reason some of your US readers may consider this not to be one of your best postings is that we are bombarded with IQ test pop-ups asking whether a picture is a rabbit or a duck or both. If this duality were new to us, it might be better received.
Thanks for all your posts, Vurdlak, and if some aren’t going to considered for the top 10 of 2010, that’s OK. It makes us all the more appreciative of the really good ones. :)
Where did you find the Duck/RABBIT toy?
Amazing! It is so weird yet so modern. Hard to explain. . .
Yes My wii number is 3764-8628-8367-8883!! Cool illusion!!
I saw an actual (IRL) rabbit in the road the other day, and thought for a moment, “Why does that duck have it’s bill straight up in the air like that?”
I know this before . try something new . do u understud!
Heyy. Do any of u boyz need a gf???
it ok i saw first time tho rabit one way duck upside down but it is worst ive seen iv seen beter i giv
2/10
its obviously a toy…
THE BUNNY WHOSE LAYING EGGS
I think its great because its a real toy that some one made for kids to look at either way. very clever by the designer, but so simple for the children.
hey, that’s bunny, and i can explain. the duck’s lower bill is supposed to be shorter. i can tell. im just 11…
i saw a rabbit and duck illusion right before this one.
