Turning the picture/ phone 90° clockwise helped my brain. Maybe you are lucky, too.

Usually with these types of pics, once my brain catches the correct image, I can't go back to seeing it the other way. But for some reason this photo is an exception, and every single time I have to physically tilt my head to see the chihuahua. Interesting.

Their powerful claws and shovel-like feet allow them to dig incredibly fast, capable of shifting two feet of soil in just 15 seconds to create their burrows and access termite mounds.
