Can't say I've ever heard of them. I had a quick look about them and I can't see the shark either, must be cool if you can though.

Try focusing on a spot on the screen and induce double vision. You'll see it soon enough

Bummer, try practicing on this first. If you guys still can't see it, don't say I didn't try

Definitely try on the second one first. Put your face close to the screen and let your eyes relax, as though they were focusing deeper than the screen. Your goal is to focus on something about 6 inches or so behind the screen. The second one looks kinda like this:
It's not exactly that but it was close and I found it quickly.

I've stood outside the runway at the Atlanta airport to see Boeings land over my head and have seen this in person. Wing-tip vortexes may not be the official term for it though. And lift looks different than this.

I did that on my bicycle the other day. Popped a small wheelie over a bump in an intersection and came down at an angle. Did the same thing with my foot, almost biffed it hard.

Agreed
Is that some sort of deep sea species shark? It looks awesome.

Because our brain sucks.
It's a trick GIF. The Lighting and shadows are wrong - temporally. The brain compensates (as it usually does) with 'fake' reality.
I see two sharks -the one in the back has three dorsal fins - and there is a finless baby shark in front of it.

I see two Buddha-figures in the back - attached at shoulders and hips - in between and slightly to the front is some kind of crouching animal - like a cheetah or other larger cat.
Very relaxing.
The problem is stopping the ocular attraction and getting away! Any movement of one's head will break the trap.This is an example of the - 'atheists are looking for the dark with a flashlight' analogy. The more you focus the less you are going to see the 'illusion'.
Good ones. Was enjoyable letting go.

Back to this one again - I tried it out another time - and try as I would couldn't get the double-buddha/crouching cat image again. These images had depth the first time - in the sense they were beyond the surface and were flat planes in the middle of the picture. However - when I tried it later on, all I got was the single seated Buddha figure, probably the one Danoff was talking about - and this time the image was an indentation - it was hollowed out from the surface. At this point I tried to figure out where my focal point was and gently raised my index finger in front of my eyes . . . and as I moved my finger closer to the screen it went into the Buddha indentation - as if my finger was inside the screen!
Freaky. Virtual Reality.

👍 glad you got it! There is only 1 Buddah. Depending on how much the image overlaps you'll see double...etc.
