This really a nice one. Circular snakes appear to rotate ‘spontaneously’, while in reality this is a static jpeg image..

creepy!!!
ITS A GIF! ITS A GIF!! =P
cool!!!
that looks like its animated……BUT ITS NOT OMG
It’s a cool illusion. It’s a gif but its only one image. It’s AWESOME!
Just Because it’s a Gif Doesn’t mean its animated!
Not a GIF! Print it on a color printer and the image still moves…so distracting!
i used to have this poster size on my wall
had to move though, it was ther first thing i saw evermorning….not to good
OK… that was… strange.
if you look at a black spot in the middle of a snake the circle will stop “turning”
unbelievable!
meh. ive seen it loads of times
Try to print it LOL
wow! who made it..?
This illusion is digital art made by Akitoshi Yoshitama or somethign like that, is saw it a book caled masters of deception, ts a book full of optical illusions of all kind by escher and dahli and a bunch of others
for those pll who say it’s a gif it isnt to prov it cover the first three rows of snakes with your hands or somthing and onlt look a the top row it wont move no mater how long you look at it
Haha, if you focus on one it stops moving, but when you look away it starts again.
Why it was happen that if you focus in one, it stops but if you stop it and look 4 the other one it keeps moving…. hahahah
My eyes are sore
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
It’s…so….TRIPPY!
Help! For some reason, I can’t see any movement at all!
if you look at it at a certain (near the side of a circle), then surrounding circles continuously wobble. Looking into the center won’t work
Dudes…! lol
cool man! LOL…

Hi, testing out my new gravitar. Hope it worked.
I see this illusion every so often. i noticed some-day’s it spins faster than other days. Hehe
I tried to print this but it didn’t work when it was on paper. I even made it a jpeg and it worked on my computer screen. Are there any other illusions just like this that will work when printed?
Thanks!
I saw that on my DSI
It’s the light from background control the picture movement. It’s the illusion of the light that make you think the picture is moving, but it’s not. It’s the light that they set up from the background of the picture.
I found another optical illusion in this one if you use your mouse to make the screen go up and down a few times it starts to turn to black and white or it might just be me i dunno try it!
If you squint your eyes it turns black and white its cool
cool its moving but when you look at it it stops moving!
if you just focus on one snake, you would found out it was not really rotating.
the admin or uploader shouldnt upload this as a GIF ! this is kinda dissapointing . i saved the file in computer and its a GIF ! but i will convert it in a jpeg with adobe photoshop and i will see if there are layers on GIF too.
For ppl who dont know, GIF is a an image format which is made from layers are those layers are changing after a timeline or a timed sequence.
well i analized in photoshop and couldnt find layers.I even made a “Print Screen” and pasted to Paint and it still has the illusion effect. So there are hidden information on GIF image to make it moving.
i mean there are no hidden layers in GIF*
It’s not animated at all
I dont see shit. nothing is moving… I smoke a lot of pot… maybe it cancels out?
why are they called rotating “snakes”?
