At first glance, you're not sure what you're looking at — and that's the point. This leopard sea star lies flat on white sand in clear shallow water, its five pink-tipped arms fanned out like a starburst. Zoom in on one arm's tip and the illusion takes over: a smooth, rounded knob split by a single seam, looking uncannily like a nose, or a toe, or something else entirely. Nature's own optical trick.
