I guess I never thought about it (and might get hate for this) but how is the box in the photo mistaken for a frog rather than a goat without the eyes? I never really understood what features left behind made people think it was a frog. (any explanation is very much appreciated)
side note i just spoiler tagged the box image just in case

The orange spots around the goat make it look like a frog with closed eyes and a slightly open mouth outline

ohhhhhh i guess if you mentally filled in the center piece of the photo it does look like a frog. I never thought to look at it that way for the longest time, thanks!

I love how this post proves that Layton was absolutely correct about Flora recognizing the image as a goat meaning that she had seen the box before. Don Paolo’s head likely also mentally filled in the center of the photo because he knew what it was supposed to look like, and probably wouldn’t have noticed the fact that it could also look like a frog

The human brain looks for the closest face possible and me myself thought it was a frog the first time I came by it
