The question here is straight forward enough - what is this a picture of ? The answer is simpler than you might think.

It's a cow. The "skull" that everyone thinks they see are the dark cow ears and the "teeth" of the skull are really wire fencing.
Posted by Naomi on March 23, 2017

I can see both!, a cow and the X-ray the perfil of the skull with missing bones. Interesting !!!!
Posted by GOOD on December 9, 2016

AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FACE.THEN I LOOKED CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE IT WAS A COW.
Posted by I got it on August 25, 2016

The small thing in the edge of the black spot in the right is the cows eye and the turtle like thing is the fence. The two black spots on either sides are the ears of the cow. The cow is looking towards you.

Posted by Roger Reed on March 16, 2016

Look closley, it is a cow looking strait at the freaking camera. The black sorta hides it and outlines it.

This "cow picture" was the subject of a scholarly paper by KM Dallenbach in 1951. American J Psychology Volume 64. pages 431-433

I first saw this picture of a cow 60 years ago when I was 12. It was on the business card of a salesman. Since then every time I see the picture, I see the cow.

Posted by katie on March 5, 2013

the reason people see a cow is because it looks like a cow looking at u the two semi circular ooking shapes are the ears and bellow it you can see the nose!
Posted by cow on February 22, 2013

its a cow just got a bit of a olden day look about it si that right????
Posted by aemoltin96 on January 13, 2013

The cow is hard to see but if u look at the same picture just bellow it very closely u will see the cow looking at u
Posted by Draz on December 19, 2012

To see cow: start with blob to far left at about center, that is one ear. Then look at the large blob in upper right ignore all but the circular part in approx. middle of screen. Now, coming off the bottom left of the blob is a little nick. That is one eye. Then to the bottom right of the far left blob is a little black circle that is second eye. Follow the black curve that goes down towards center of pic, that is the bridge of its nose, the black "u" shape in bottom center of pic is the cows nose.
Posted by Draz on December 19, 2012

The cow is really hard to see, I can see the man, an alien face, and a skull. Which, for those who can't see skull if u look to left of cow face, u see these vertical bars, those are the skull teeth. The skull is looking to the left
Posted by Draz on December 19, 2012

The comment near the top by mak helped me a lot. I completely see the cow now!

how do you not see it???? its a man sitting in a chair!!!you see kind of the round grid at the bottom left? that's the chair. also theres a big bob on top of that's and that's the mans head. his hands, arms, and legs are positioned where they normally would be on a chair. How is that so hard for people to see??? its really simple!
Posted by halo on November 29, 2012

me too I can NOT see a cow
Posted by Dr. Stephanie Rostenkowski on November 3, 2012

Oh yes, something I forgot to add, how the hell is it a cow?!
Posted by Dr. Stephanie Rostenkowski on November 3, 2012

I am a phycologist. A lot of these 'what is it?' Pictures are simply a matter of interpretation. They are simply a bundle of pictures mixed together to create one picture that could-most possibly-be anything. It's all a simple matter of whatever you want this picture you see before you, to be.
Posted by bob face yeah thats my real name on October 17, 2012

Posted by Brian White on May 24, 2012

Look at the lower left corner. The grid is a wire fence. The cow, without horns, is extending its head over the fence. B & W photo was processed with minimal contrast. OK?
Posted by Gabby on May 16, 2012

Wow...this one is the best i\'ve seen so far. There is a horse on the right hand side. A cow in the middle looking straight at you. A man with a life jacket on on the left hand side. And if you look and concentrate at the white in the middle you\'ll see a man shot dead lying down on grass looking to the right top corner...
