RE: What is this animal? Game cam pic
I change my vote to bobcat after seeing Double Creeks picture.
I found a very interesting article that describes this phenomenon pretty good....
"I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the human mnid. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod aapepr, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed typoglycemia."
The mind believes what we expect to see. My wife saw the picture of the original cat posted and thought it was a dog of some sorts. How she could possibly see a dog I will never understand. What I do understand is that she works with dogs a lot and may somehow be pre-wired to expect a dog sized animal to in fact be a dog without really "seeing." Now I know that each of us have studied that photo and we've each had very distinct ideas on what it is or isn't. My question which will remain unanswered is how much of the picture did our minds fill in for us? Very interesting post!!! The best I've seen in a long time!
