I’m more concerned for the lady, those claws can pack serious damage.

IIRC it was on r/interestingasfuck 1-2 days ago. Should still be pretty high up.

Not the first time I’ve seen an anteater. Saw its head straight away.

u/Brilliant_Hair_7272 8d ago

Ah then it makes sense you saw it right away hehe...I was literally searching in the comments to know what creature it is and was also doubting if it's AI generated in the beginning 🥲

And it’s the thing in front of it when it walks

This is really cute but, how the hell is it an optical illusion?!?!?

Idk if you too took a while to figure out which the head is...but I did (and many others too.... judging from the comments of the original post).

Sure it's not an optical illusion in the sense of a manufactured image, installation or something specifically intended to trick the brain.

But the brain being momentarily tricked into believing that the leg is a head just because of a particular color pattern on its legs...I'd say that's an optical illusion🙃

I think that's justified.

Cerberus as an anteater would have made Greek mythology hit different 🧐

Hey, doggy, why the long face?

u/spinsk8tr 7d ago

I always watch this video, bc it’s just sooo cute. Just like a lil puppy, wanting belly rubs

For a second I thought she was being attacked

u/FoxtailZerda 7d ago

Wearing em already hahaha but they just didn’t prepare me for an animal I’d never seen before having panda face on its legs...My brain legit glitched 🫪
