    The internet has a great collection of cute and funny animals pictures
    that are shared almost every day. And those who love such content ensure
    that it does go viral, sharing and resharing it on their timelines.
    However, not everything that is shared online may actually be true. A
    picture of a baby platypus is going viral this week on social media for
    being too cute. While the little platypus definitely looks adorable it
    is not a real living creature but just a plastic sculpture! Several
    Twitter users have unknowingly shared the picture of this baby platypus,
    clueless that it is not how a real one looks.&nbsp;<a

    It is unclear who shared the pictures first but many users have shared
    the same picture on Twitter. It shows a really tiny animal fitting into
    a palm One of the users captioned it, "<span

    And as cute as the above picture looks, it is a fake one. This Baby
    Platypus isn't alive but it is a piece of art made by
    Serbian&nbsp;fantasy artist&nbsp;<a

      rel="nofollow"
      target="_blank"
      >Vladimir Matić-Kuriljov</a
    >. He is a sculptor who makes art pieces using plastic-like material. So
    this cute viral picture is actually his creation. Some Twitter users did
    Google how a baby platypus looks like and found out the pictures are
    fake.

    So this is again a reminder of how everything on the internet should not
    be believed. If you come across this picture again, make sure you tell
    people how a real platypus looks like.
