Alice and the Caterpillar in John Tenniel's illustration

The Caterpillar is a fictional character appearing in Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, shown here in an illustration by John Tenniel. The illustration is noted for its ambiguous central figure, whose head can be viewed as being a human male's face with pointed nose and protruding chin or being the head end of an actual caterpillar, with two "true" legs visible.
