It’s no secret that there
are tons of fake news
circulating on the internet
and social media. Most of the
time, I’m the one who clicks
on these news stories
that seem so true.
This particular story
caught me completely
off guard, especially
since we’ve been talking
about strange creatures
being found all over the
world for the past few weeks.
I didn’t think twice about
believing it was true.
However, when I found
out it was a hoax, I have
to admit I was relieved
because it was so bizarre.

According to the Indian
Express, a story about a
pig and human baby
trended earlier this year
and led many to believe
that a pig gave birth to
a human-looking baby.
Reports indicated that
the “baby” was found in
Kenya, but it has now
been revealed that it was
not a “baby” at all, but
rather a very realistic-
looking creature made
by an Italian artist.
To be honest, I’ve never
seen anything as scary
as this before. With its
hybrid features, long nails,
and strange-looking skin,
it’s impossible not to stare
at it without looking away.

To all those who spread
this story in the hope that
it was true, I am so sorry.
This is just another case
of fake news. My rule
is simple: if you can’t
verify the source, it’s best
not to share it. People on
social media are very gullible,
as was the case in this case.
