Don’t believe your eyes! Bizarre optical illusions will make you do a double take

Some photographs are so weird and wonderful they leave you wondering whether you can trust your own eyes.

And these snaps, collated into a gallery by funpost.com, will do just that, making you look twice to try and figure out what you are really seeing.

The mind bending images, shared by social media users from around the world, feature various scenarios – which aren’t quite everything they seem at first.

One snap features what looks like an everyday bunch of bananas – but is actually an exotic yellow snake.

And another photo may shock you, showcasing what appears to be a bride, with her bare bottom on display. 

Meanwhile, a third snap shows a dog who looks like he’s about to go skydiving (clue: he isn’t).

Is this a two-headed cat – probably not feline well if so – or two cats having a cuddle? The photo is believed to be from the US 

In a further photo featuring a four-legged friend, a cat is seen burrowing through what looks, on initial glance, to be a train tunnel. 

One very intriguing image could leave you scratching your head, wondering is it a woman’s torso…or a strangely shaped glacier?

Once you’ve worked that one out, take a look at what looks like a truck full of chickens…or is actually packed with milk cartons? 

And that’s not even the strangest mix up, a further photograph showcases what looks like a bowl of baked beans – you won’t believe what it actually shows.

Here, FEMAIL shares mind boggling optical illusions that will leave you questioning your own eyes.
