OK, the big question.
Are those eyes, or only markings to look like eyes to scare off humans other predators
(it looks like a character from an animated cartoon)

awesome sites guys. Now I will be wasting the rest of my evening.
B'ski, I think the 'eyes' are on the rear end and are supposed to resemble small snakes, lizards and such. I love the Orange Dog, some photos look just like bird droppings.

Markings, many species of caterpillar have markings similar to that... Pretty cool!
