15+ Things That Pretended to Be Something They Weren’t

Pretending to be something else is one game that Mother Nature is really good at. A tree can look like a scary dragon or a rock can be identical to a thumbs-up. But 2 can play this game, so much so that even objects love to play tricks on us. We enjoy looking at things from a new perspective, and they’re a perfect snack for our brains to chew on.

Bright Side found some things that made us do a double, even triple take, and we made a selection that we hope you’ll love.

5. This rock really deserves a thumbs-up.
