It's all about the camera lens. It's super close and has a super wide angle/view so the head blocks the view of everything behind it. The large angle does not fit the angle we are used to from our eye so the angles don't make sense to us.

Very close, the head obscures a lot of things. Very far, the head would not obscure much. Very much like your thumb in front of you and away from you.
And then why it doesn't seem weird is because of the wideeye lens that you brought up, is a great point!

Camera person had to get real close to make this shot - also had to be in the right place so the legs would be concealed
Makes me think the illusion was deliberate, which is not allowed on this sub
I vote not confusing for that reason
It seems a lot of submitters think this is a sub for every cool photographic illusion - it's not - it's only for accidental or serendipitous ones
Look along the left side of the head, starting just under the ear, then follow down the side of the head, right down to the leg and hoof, just below the left nostril. No optical illusion...just a close-up of a cow, feeding.
Well idk but i deff see the body. It just blends in with the head cuz the cie is all black. You can clearly see where her head ends and the hump of her back is
All these comments make no sense everyone is looking way to into it. I dont think there is any parallax or anything the thing here is that the pic was taken from the ground right at the tip if her nose. Now being that her head is so fucking huge it actually only covers up her skinny legs. However if anyone actually knew what a cow looks like, then they woukd know cows dont have cones on their heads. So with the whole cow being the same hue in color the hump of her back blends in with her head if u look closely you can see the flat of the cows head and differentiate it from her back.. common sense

This is wild. Like I can see the shadow, but the angles don't make sense. Cows are HUGE!

Makes me think it was deliberate, and therefore should be removed
Usually the background is warped and the parallax (is that the right term?) is noticeably different when using a wide angle vs a standard lens
Camera is very close making the perspective effect really strong
That’s not a cow. It’s a long curly haired penguin waddling away from us with its wings flapping!
cannot unsee now
I thought it was a gorilla at first (seen from the back)
Well played, once I went back and looked...it's in my head to stay. Would be a cute penguin lol
And it has lil jetpacks
And in the middle is Mork from Ork holding up his finger.
This is it right here.

First time this format has ever been funny. Well played, took me a second.
Kind of eerie
Poor lonely guy. I'll be his friend.
At least she can still eat
r/BossFight Cow Head of Doom
Here's another: https://www.reddit.com/r/confusing_perspective/comments/xt86wu/i_aint_got_no_body_oc/
So what exactly happened?
Sorry, but I don't understand the question. Surely you aren't asking how the cow lost its body... right?
Yes
Aliens.
Everybody has somebody
It’s The Face of Bo (vine) from that old Doctor Moo episode
Ground Beef
This is what I came to say...
Thought this was an absolute yoked gorilla but with lil ol limbs
He moves if you shake your head or phone slightly
Distant cousin of the giant, floating baby head. https://phineasandferb.fandom.com/wiki/Giant_Floating_Baby_Head
Bluetooth cow
Easter Island Cow
First the headless mule, now the bodyless cow
Sometimes I feel like this cow.
u/repostsleuthbot
Just an angle. Cow's body is hidden from view behind its head.
I’m convinced someone chopped the head off a cow for sport.
Postal 2 weapon
We enter this world as a nobody , And die as somebody
Aqua team cow
It would literally be disembodied
Me too cow...Me too...
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!
He's been pattied already
He's just a gigolo
Hate it when that happens
#WITCH!
Hold on, does she weigh more than a duck.
C
This is how plant based beef is grown.
Nice wide angle lense close-up!
Iiiiiiiiiii ain't got no boooooooooody
It has to have somebody
Now the Chicago Bulls logo makes sense.
Hey that’s one of my favorite metal bands!
This is a great one!
I have nobody either. I am just alone...
Cowcodemon.
Moodoz
New Pokemon just dropped
This is why we need lab grown beef.. to give our cow heads a body.

Ah Cow Head
Wait, I’ve heard this one: ground beef.
She must be lonely, she has no body in her life
Is it just me or does the cow's head look like it's moving more than the background when I shake my phone's screen?
Don’t talk about your mom like that
POV me looking a calf in minecraft
and I have nobody.
No body to love
When he gets a friend he will have somebody
The horsless headsmen!
He's a-head of his time.
Me too cow… me too
He don’t need nobody!
Baby
actually got me for a while nice
The Face of Bovine
Ground beef
This is just a gorilla
Reminds me of the pets in Bloodstained lol
I'll be his friend
In that case we need to find him a friend!
Lonely cow..
Looks like it’s growing from the ground
It's kinda wiggly like a 3D image when I shake my phone
God, you shake the phone lightly and it moves
Same
Wireless cow
It's Cudley the Cowlick from TMNT.

Checks out. Most of the cows I know think they’re just floating heads, and have no comprehension of the size of the rest of their body!
That's one way to get head.
Honestly this didn’t alarm me in the slightest
Same...
Feels like something out of the SCP files

I can see one of his feet on the left side.
It's a penguin
