We study the nontrivial effects of the NUT charges on the shadows of the Kerr-Taub-NUT black holes seen by zero-angular-momentum-observers. Inclination angles with which the observers gain maximal, locally extreme or minimal shadow sizes and distortions are investigated for the black holes with diff...
