Mysterious hybrid animals between humans and dogs: Deception!

People who are interested in genetically modified and asexual animals often ask the question: Are scientists going too far? What is the meaning of new achievements in genetics?

A 'horrible' answer has recently appeared in the widely circulated story: 'Israeli scientists are considering a hybrid between human and Labrador retriever. While thought to be a genetically impossible thing, humanitarian activists discovered the remains of a hybrid that is believed to be the parent of the animal in the photo below, buried in the section. land of the owner. The human part of the animal is believed to be the teenage son of a famous family about treatment. DNA testing is ongoing and next month will have results'.

The answer comes with a picture of the mother between the dog and the person taking care of her child . The picture was filled with e-mail boxes around the world, accompanied by messages - some ridicule, others were quite serious - often taking the tip that the photo was a 'serious' warning. on the consequences of abuse of GMO (or, can be a animalistic act).

Of course this hybrid animal does not exist. It is not a true animal but a statue of artist Patricia Piccinini, in the exhibition 'We are family'.

This photo, widely circulated on the Internet by bloggers and by e-mail, is said to describe a hybrid of humans and dogs.In fact, this is a picture of a statue of artist Patricia Piccinini, from the exhibition 'We are family'.

It is unclear how many people are actually fooled by that picture - chances are many people simply forward the picture to their friend as if to kill time rather than alert. The Snopes Urban Legend website purged this photo in 2007, but it is likely that this person-dog-pig photo will continue to be restored in the future, or by chance or deliberately tricked.

People like the mystery, and they especially like the mystery coming from a strange photo.

People-dog hybrid scams are just the latest version of a series of mysterious photos. These photos have three similar characteristics: They are at least somewhat real; they are often strange enough to attract curiosity; and perhaps most importantly, they can easily cause misconceptions.
How did such things begin?

Normally, like this case, there was no deliberate deception: It was a legitimate photograph of something curious. The photos were created as an art project, as in the case of the Borneo Monster.Many works of art, like Piccinini and sculptor Ron Mueck, may be mistaken as a strange mysterious phenomenon when placed in inappropriate situations.

In other cases the subject refers to the real thing, but the photographer may not know it, as is the case with Montauk Monster discovered in July 2008 and May 2009.
