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. <a

to Baby Yoda, another character that has charmed the netizens
recently.

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 fantasy artist <a

>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.
