這是本世紀最美麗的照片
一隻幼獅在炎熱的大草原上筋疲力盡，無法行走。一隻大象路過，用長鼻摟起幼獅，一路把幼獅送到水邊，母獅在旁同行。
我們卻稱它們"野獸"
Is This a Photograph of an Elephant Carrying a Lion Cub?
18 September 2018
A photograph of an elephant carrying a lion cub should need to be real to be considered the "best photo of this century."
CLAIM
A photograph shows an elephant carrying a lion cub.
ORIGIN
An image showing an elephant carrying a lion cub with its trunk took another lap around the internet in September 2018, after it was labeled “one of the best photos of the century” and attached to a backstory reporting that the elephant was saving the cub from exhaustion:
Considered one of the best photos of this century. A lioness and her cub were walking but the heat was excessive and the puppy was in great distress walking. The elephant realized that his cub would die and carried him to a pool of water alongside his mother. Wild animals huh?
This image can’t be fairly considered one of the best photographs of this century, because it’s not a genuine photograph.
The image of the elephant carrying a lion cub with its trunk was created by Kruger National Park and shared to the South Africa organization’s official Twitter account, Kruger Sightings, on April Fool’s Day in 2018. The original posting was accompanied by the words “Sloof Lirpa,” or “April Fools” backwards:
We haven’t been able to locate the source photographs for the two lions in this image, but the picture of the elephant was taken in 2005 at Kruger National Park. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the original elephant photograph (left) and the doctored image showing the elephant carrying a lion cub (right):
