(clicky)is it a duck or auk or rabbit or all three?

supposedly, the fact that you can see at least two objects in the same image indicates above-average creativity/intelligence, specifically lateral thinking i.e. the ability to see multiple uses for things.

I saw one right after the other; it was not hard. Is it supposed to be difficult?

Yeah the ears/beak do look like scissors, actually.

I had to stare at the beakears to see what looked like electric pruning shears I saw the two creatures right away, almost at the same time, within a second or so. there are some folks who can only see one or the other, though. people's brains are wired differently.

Lol, "beakears". That should be a new word. I don't know what its definition should be, but it should be a word.

Never heard of sniglet before. I had to look that one up. There ought to be a dictionary just for those kinds of words. But not like the urban dictionary. A real one.
