Perspective changes everything. Take a particular object, put it in a specific time and place, and you see how it differs compared with an almost identical one. And since such an experiment would probably be slightly too elaborate for real life, Bored Panda has compiled this entertaining collection of the most surprising comparisons.
From comparing a chimpanzee fingertip with a human fingertip to photos of a man before and after walking across China for the whole year, these are side-by-side shots that show the weird and the wonderful side of the world we live in. So pull your chair closer, get your popcorn ready and tune in for the list that puts a spin on the good old “spot the difference” game.
After you’re done, make sure to check out our previous posts with incredible comparisons here, here, and here.

Perspective is a beautiful power to subject things to. Not only do we start seeing their beauty, as in the cases of these comparisons, it can also make us feel better. You see, while putting things in perspective, we are selecting a particular mode of seeing them, and it doesn't just feel like it, our brain actually does it.
Scientists say that changing perspective is a healthy exercise if we want to be empathetic, rational and compassionate. However, changing perspective is not merely about seeing things from the point of view of another. It's just as much about gaining perspective.

Changing one’s perspective has to do with the point of view in which you stand. By stepping outside of our usual perspectives, it can become possible to frame arguments in ways that motivate others instead of leaving them feeling rejected, for example. In a similar way, you can start seeing things not as simply black or white, good or bad, but in a more complex light. This will get us out of the loop of negativity, prejudice and other negative emotions.

Head Size Difference Between A Man And An Adult Cane Corso
I agree, my neighbour have a female cane corso widouth ears cropped and also widouth tail cropped. She is so cute when she is running and her ears flap aroung. And her tail is like a whip when she wiggles it :D
Load More Replies...sadly some r already like that before the person adopts them depends on breeder or if its a rescue etc. most breeders ask tho
Load More Replies...My sister in law has one, but with natural ears and long tail.... not the brightest dog I ' ve ever seen, but a gentle giant
Why do people crop dogs ears. Try cropping your own and see how it hurts. Dogs have the same nervous systems as all mammals IT HURTS
Humans have been making elf ears for some time now.
Load More Replies...Can confirm. I love big dogs and yes, the portion sizes are huge.
Load More Replies...Wish I could show the pic I have of my mastiff with her head on top of mine. Similar results!!
My father in law had a mastiff 20 yers ago - the best dog I can imagine
Load More Replies...Genuine question and not a criticism but why do they clip these poor dogs ears. It's the same as some dogs tails that get cut. I don't understand the reason and the poor animals must hurt like hell till it clears up. Not trying to start a debate on the rights and wrongs just always wondered what the need for it was. Is it to make the dog look more ferocious or that??
Beautiful boy. We have a female Corso and her ears are not cropped. She's never had an ear infection in her 3 years of life. People use that as an excuse for cropping their ears. It's purely done for aesthetic reasons. They don't need their ears cropped. It changes the entire look of the dog to make them look more intimidating. It's cruel and unnecessary.
What in the absolute hell is this and why have I not heard of it before????
Have you had his ears chopped?, Hatefull, Disgusting practice. Not allowed in the UK
Did you cut that dogs ears? Really? Why the f**k are vets still allowing this procedure?
this is bruse wayne. ears are chopt off by the beeder.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhf66bQ2Huo
That dog doesn't look very happy, or is this it's natural expression?
Never understood why people feel the need to maim their dogs by cutting their ears and tails or declaw their cats
And that breed is not for inexperienced owners! But they are gorgous.
Can we talk about how much a dog this size eats? I dream of having a dog this size but the reality is daunting!
He's beautiful (dog). Don't rate the owner much if he mutilated his ears (and tail probably?) though.
Marc, Bruce Wayne? Good to know. I'll go over to Youtube to let him know exactly how I feel about his very poor decision when he put himself and his arrogance above that above this poor animal.
Hey look it's Batdog that being said I don't know why ears are cropped
On this dog's fb page I'll bet he shows off his human as something SMOL
How on earth would you ever be able to afford to feed this massive doggie I ask?
My aunt had a Cane Gordo, and the vet cropped her ears due to horrible chronic ear infections. Some breeds are more prone than others, just saying.
I have never heard of cropping ears for that purpose - it sounds like bull to me. There is an operation in extreme cases where they have to strip out much of the ear canal, but I have never seen a vet suggest amputation of the external ear for this purpose.
Load More Replies...I have 2 cane corsos, both rescues. One looks almost exactly like this one and has never had one issue with his ears, my other one still has her beautiful floppy ears, but gets infections all the time, I'm constantly cleaning and medicating them. The vet even has to put special medicine in a couple times a year. Personally I couldn't bring myself to have a dogs ears cropped, but I can absolutely see the benefit.
Thats not really true. German shepherds have straight ears naturally and they are also prone to infections. It is more up to the dog than to the ear shape
