Have you ever heard about the term pareidolia? It is described as the tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music.

To determine its severity, however, we need more tests. As such, we’ve compiled a series of images in which your mind might perceive a pattern that isn't actually there.

And this ability, as much as we use it for recognizing human emotions, also helps to determine the demeanour of wildlife.
