Optical illusions can be a lot of fun, especially when we can identify the points that make the image make sense. However, this is not always an easy task, especially when the challenge involves tricks that defy common sense. It is the case of this fish optical illusion, where there is a somewhat obvious interpretation, but which does not match reality. In fact, to know what actually happens in this image, you will need to change your observation perspective.

How many animals do you see in this image?
At first, the most common and obvious answer is that it is possible to find a shark with a fish in its mouth. Further back, we can also see that there is a boat sailing across the ocean, with its shadow mirrored in the water. However, reality can be much more complex than that, starting with the proposal of this challenge.
This is because there are not only two animals represented in this image, but three, which can be seen clearly with great attention. There is even another factor that should draw your attention, as what we interpret as a shark or dolphin does not actually belong to any marine species.
What is the third animal?
Maybe now the challenge may have become more interesting for you, and that's exactly what we look for in illustrations like this one. After all, our mind is very complex, but it can also quickly suffer from illusions. So, many times, changing your starting point and perspective is just what we need to find the hidden truth.
Soon, we will challenge you to change the way you look at this image by turning your phone upside down. As you do this, you notice that the image quickly transforms, and that the sky becomes the sea and vice versa. More than that, it will also be possible to find a new animal, which would be multiple birds flying.
