Describe Depth Deception Discussion here.

Kilyle: I've heard of people from thick jungles or the like who, when brought to the open plains, have such woefully underdeveloped senses of depth perception that they believe far-off buffalo to be insects. And when the buffalo come toward them, they get frightened by how the things are growing. But it could be an urban legends, so I'm not putting it up unless someone can confirm. (Similarly: One of these guys ends up comatose and transported to a hospital in the U.S., and is being wheeled down a hallway on a gurney when he wakes up... and freaks, because he sees the lines of the hospital ceiling moving toward each other in the distance and believes the doctors are shrinking him.)
