Why would animals recognize sunglasses as eyes?

Well, I still see Orca eyespots as eyes and I've known they're not for at least two decades now.

Deer and Elk have very dark eyes. https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/game_management/deer/im...

Some sunglasses (probably not all) kinda look like 2 dark circles with a gap between. If you can make the cat second guess it sometimes is all it takes to make it look for other game. They really don't like to eat us anyways from what I hear.
