Pareidolia is defined a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Usual examples include seeing faces, images, animals, deities in different parts of the natural world like the sky, rocks, trees or water.
One of the most famous examples is the Face On Mars. A particular position where the picture was taken, together with lighting and shadow, combined to produce a face-like image in a mesa on Mars.
It has long been the subject of various Extraterrestrial conspiracy theories, but ultimately, it has been proven to be just a trick of light. But without further ado, here are some more examples in our natural world.
A face in a banana tree
A skull face in spider web
A elephant-like animal in stone
