The internet enjoys optical illusions and one such picture clicked amidst a snow-capped region is doing the rounds of the internet. Journalist Nicholas Thompson shared the picture in question on his Twitter timeline and it has left social media users confused.

One look at the picture and it appears as if a man, dressed in black woollens, is running into a snow-capped region amid trees and sparse vegetation. However, if you look closely, the picture seems much clearer as you will notice that it isn't a man but an animal - in all probability, a bear or a fluffy dog.

"An optical illusion for tonight. First you see a man running into the snow....and then," Nicholas Thompson said in the caption of the post.

I saw the man. Has to think/study for a bit to see dog. Don’t assume that your visual processing is identical to everyone else’s. Many things can affect it, including screen brightness.
