interesting. I figured news organizations would shy away from publishing obviously photoshopped images, at least.

First: What's "obviously photoshopped" about the image? I don't see anything really glaring.

Second: It's not a news organisation, it's The Daily Mail.

looked like a news article, but ok. As to the photoshopping, it's a mirrored image of the same squirrel and coconut. look at the coconut's holes, and the way it's tied up. More tellingly, look at the blurry seam in the center of the image and the oddly shaped leaf next to the left squirrel. there's a matching one to the right of the right squirrel. The leaf is what seals it for me, the rest of it's more supporting evidence.

let's see if I can do this without borking the code...

Umm.... those leaves aren't the same shape, they're not the same distance from the squirrel, the squirrels aren't standing the same way (note that you can see the belly on one and not the other), the holes in the coconuts are similar but they're not mirrored and the little white hairs on the nuts don't match up, and the rings are the same kind of ring tied the same way but they are NOT mirror images of each other.

Now, if there was *a mirror* in the shot, in a plane running from bottom below the left squirrel's feet and up directly between the two, maybe - but this is *not* the same image flipped horizontally and cleaned up.

Oh, and: I know it looks like a news article. There's a ton of other things on that site that look like news articles, and they claim to be news articles, but they're The Daily Mail. Calling them a news organisation is like calling Fox or The Weekly World News a news organisation.

sorry, bad phrasing on my part. I think it's two images of the same squirrel, one of which was mirrored and then they were blurred together.

Ah!

Yeah, okay, entirely possible.

This would also be my assessment, FWIW.
