He looks so cute that a lot of people are looking for a place to buy him to raise him. Every sin, the truth is not what they thought.
Social media has a rule of thumb for things that go viral. These are things that are either very shocking, extremely outraged, very human, or … really cute.
Recently, an image caused a storm on the international community, and it is no exception to the above rule. It is a picture of the so-called “platypus”, so cute, that the animal wants to pass out.
The image above is currently widely shared on Facebook and Twitter. “Look. A young platypus and I’m sure you have to watch it. I want to pass out” – quoted in a post from netizens.
And of course, internet users with an extremely creative mind cannot leave this cute platypus alone. A series of fabricated photos have been published, part to honor her beauty, part to satisfy … the photographer’s hobby.
But in the end, the most shared posts had to be deleted out of shame. Because it’s not a “real” platypus, but it’s made of stone.
In fact, it is a statue made by artist Vladimir Matić-Kuriljov. In the past, Vladimir had to correct once it was just a statue. And recently he had to speak again, after so much false information had spread.
“I just want to clarify once again that this is just a clay statue. When I created and posted it, I had the title ‘Platypus’. Actually, my idea was that. A new species, called ‘the platypus.’ I never thought it could be so misinterpreted, ”Vladimir explained.
Overall, Vladimir’s work is really cute. But at this point, do you wonder what a “real” platypus looks like?
No need to wait long, it’s here!
The real products don’t look as sulky as the “ghost” statue, but they’re actually quite cute. And for those who don’t know, the platypus is quite an interesting animal!
First, they are one of the very few mammals to possess the toxin (located in the hind legs), with a bill capable of sensing electromagnetic fields and laying eggs rather than laying offspring. They also feed young animals milk, but do not have pacifiers. Instead, the milk will be secreted through the skin, causing young animals to lick and suck on their mother’s hair to eat.
Platypuses are also endangered due to the narrow habitat and overhunting.
