Plane and Giraffe Illusion

I have quite a fun perfectly timed photo illusion for you this morning. It’s a giraffe illusion that will definitely make you look twice!

In this giraffe illusion, it looks as though the long necked animal has its nose and mouth right next to a plane flying in. It almost looks like the giraffe is getting ready to take a bite out of the plane. Or, at the very least nosing it a bit. But, which one looks disproportionate to you? Does the giraffe look enormous or does the plane look tiny?

If you liked this giraffe illusion, head over and check out this flying man optical illusion!
