Apparently these tigers are so inbred in order to keep them white, that this sometimes happens. It may be related to the mutation that causes them to be white in the first place.

When contacted, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Muka Head marine research station head Prof Dr Zulfigar Yasin said this is the first time he had heard of fish with legs found in the Malaysian waters.

“There is a possibility that the fish could have swum from other waters into Malaysian waters.

“As far as I am concerned, fish species with legs or bony fins can only be discovered in the waters of North Sulawesi in Indonesia or South Africa,” he said.

Mindblowing Optical Illusion

At first glance, the silhouette is spinning clockwise. but you can reverse the spinning.

I honestly thought this was a hoax of some kind and I was being made a fool by staring at this thing trying to make it change direction, and then sure enough, I did it.

Here's what worked for me: Look at the shadow. Notice the shadow of the spinning foot. Try to tell yourself that you are looking at the shadow going the other direction. Once you've convinced yourself of that, look back up (if it helps, cover the girl and only look at the shadow until you can get it to change direction).
