Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

The illusion of perspective

Explanation of some of these illusions based on the human tendency to perceive as more major what is next, taking into account the effect of perspective. It makes our brain it is a mistake to exaggerate the size of two equal subjects, which is more removed.

Shapes are perceived different in size, because the observer knows from experience that the indirect signals are usually given information about perspective and distance. Much of what people "see" around itself, is the result of past experience. Even if experience does not match this situation, it is, nevertheless, used.
