Trippy optical illusion turns ape into man in worlds fastest evolution

A mind-boggling optical illusion has sent people wild.

Viewers of the viral video are convinced they saw an ape "evolve" into a man in the blink of an eye – so what do you make of it?

The trippy clip was accidentally caught on camera by a tourist who visited Hongshan Forest Zoo in Nanjing, east China on February 6.

In the video, she is filming a black crested gibbon inside its enclosure.

Her camera follows the animal as it swings its arm and playfully hops onto a rock by the window.

But as she pans the camera across, the primate appears to "transform" into a young man wearing a black jacket and a face mask.

The camera cuts as he turns around and looks at the woman.

The bizarre optical illusion left viewers doing a double-take – and many couldn't resist rewatching the "seamless evolution".

"I knew it! Zoo animals are staff who dressed up in costumes," one joked.

A second guessed: "The zookeeper is off work, that's an impressive change."

"What an evolution – from gibbon to human in face mask," a third wrote.

And a fourth added: "What in the Planet of the Apes is that?"

Some were convinced the effect was done by skilful editing, possibly using green screens.

But the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told video-sharing platform Douyin that the video was posted without edits.

"Guys, this young man is my little brother and he is 17 years old," she wrote in the video caption.

"He is not a worker at the zoo and in the background, you can hear my little sister talking to me."
