An image of a “baby platypus” has gone viral due to the fact it’s extremely adorable. The reality is, though we’d love it to be real, it’s definitely
not a baby platypus.
The original tweet by 660rd, which has since been deleted, received more than 180,000 likes and just shy of 24,000 retweets but if you didn’t read the replies, you might mistake it for the real deal.

Though it’s been deleted, a number of copycat tweets have re-uploaded it, spreading the adorable lie. This is why we can’t have nice things on the internet.
