A picture of an odd animal with a human-like face that was discovered in India has gone viral on social media as a “alien” and a “dangerous animal.” The images, however, are of a silicone sculpture made by Italian artist Laira Maganuco; no such animal actually exists.

Since 2018, various assertions have been made in relation to the bizarre creature’s photographs. It has gained notoriety for escaping from Gujarat and assaulting farmers in Rajasthan.

“सभी किसान भाइयों से निवेदन है कि अकेले खेत में ना जाएं और सुरक्षित रहें सावधान रहें यह बहुत ही खतरनाक जानवर आया है गुजरात से राजस्थान के लिए रवाना हो गया है”
(Translation: “All the farmer brothers are requested not to go to the field alone and be safe, beware this very dangerous animal has come from Gujarat to Rajasthan.”)
