bug haters will be like “thanks i hate it” and then show you a picture of the cutest animal you’ve ever seen
come on man
THATS A BUNNY
why is her hand as long as her torso is wide
Quick google search pulled up a reddit thread with this image from 5 years ago so I don’t think it’s AI, consensus seems to be that it’s an Giant African Land Snail but this is the only picture I can see of one being THIS big so it’s possible the photo is either edited OR shot in a clever way to make the snail, and the person’s hand, look bigger. However, they could also just be really skinny? I’ve seen some skinny people with wild proportions so I wouldn’t rule it out, but I figure it’s probably edited/shot in a specific way.
Also! Apparently holding one like this is a TERRIBLE idea! They carry parasites that can infect on contact so if this image is of that type of snail and, regardless of possible size editing/exaggeration, this person is indeed holding it with their bare hands, this is wildly unsafe, and I have to then assume due to this being in a regular house this might be some illegal exotic pet nonsense or at least a sign that this person is unfit to care for this type of animal.
I could be wrong tho, seems like the comments here and on the reddit post have more than a few people pointing out the parasite thing, but I did see a video of another person showing off the same kind of snail that did seem to be the size of their hand but like, their hands looked normal sized, so it was maybe as big as a softball or so, and it did appear that they had some gloves on, so it might be safe to own these but this specific person took an unsafe, edited pic for the clout.
Def worth doing some more research on tho! This is just my take away and I don’t have the time for a deeper dive atm so I could be wrong, but it’s a good reminder to myself and others to check this sort of thing before sharing a post, especially if it seems a outrageously cool in a way that could be misleading or outright dangerous/illegal.
