I see a frog first. I think I see the horse. The mouth is the right side, correct?

Frog

Definitely a horse. I see the frog, but the frog is badly deformed. Whenever there's one of these I always vote for the one that doesn't look like a retarded kid drew it.

Like the 'old lady or young lady' one... it's the young lady. Because the old lady is a poorly drawn caricature intended to merge onto the picture of the young girl.

Same with this one. They show you the picture in the "frog" orientation, but the frog looks like it got hit with the ugly stick a bunch of times first.

I also see the frog first. The horse it harder to see. It's actually just the head, looks like the rest is underwater, looking to the left. Mouth is shared with the frog.

I agree, the frog is easier to spot on this one. The horse does look like its head is underwater. If it's not under the water, then the orientation is what throws you off from seeing it. Tilt your head to the right and view the picture, you'll quickly see the horse.

print it out, turn the picture 90 degrees, the horse is very apparent.

Well frogs do look pretty retarded

Well obviously it is both frog and horse, but if I had to vote I would say frog for sure. Don't like the orientation of the horse much.

Well, it is a frog first (but mainly because of the orientation of the horse). The horse itself is much nicer drawn than the frog.

Well you got a whole (ugly)frog...or maybe toad, or a horses head lying in a pond.

I say frog...I have seen frogs that look like that..and weirder

The horse's nose is all messed up. I think the frog looks better -- it's just got a little flabby at the bottom there -- maybe too many mosquitoes that bit fat people

Quit hi-jacking the thread! It's FROG OR HORSE!

Hmm a frog/horse chimera. I think I should start my own mythology book. There was an animation of a rotation. FOr some reason I couldn't get it to save properly.
