Things That Look Like They’re From Another Planet

There are things on this planet that not even scientists know how to explain yet. Some things don't add up, and it might make you think it's not of this world.

Sometimes, you might see an optical illusion that's highly convincing and that makes you think until you can't anymore. What's to follow are images of things that don't look like they're from Earth, or maybe they're just excellent optical illusions.

This dog looks like it can float because the body and legs aren't there.

Well, they disappear when it leaps in the air, so that's why it looks like that.

How are these birds so tall? Those aren't toy cars next to them, so how did this happen? Did these pigeons travel from another dimension right before someone took this picture of them?

Or is there a ledge whose edge we can't see and this is all just the work of tricky perspective?
