What bothers me about that third photo is that his landing foot is flat, as opposed curved (absorbing the impact of the landing). And the part of the rock that it appears to be flat against (if that were a natural position, which it isn't) is a feature seen in profile, not an actual flat surface. The final problem with that flat foot is that the center of gravity of his body is aligned in a perfect perpendicular plane to it, exactly the way it would be if he was putting his weight on it, flat on the solid ground.

The arm that he is supposed to be grabbing with is also visually fitted against a feature seen in profile, not an actual feature that he could be grabbing.

Take your mouse and trace a line up perpindicular to his flat "landing" foot (trace a line from his foot to his head). Imagine that the foot is actually flat on the ground (not at the slight angle shown). Doesn't it look like he is walking along and "high-fiving" somebody? All I'm sayin' is that it really looks like that to me.

Actually, looking at it again, I'm not even sure that's the same guy (1st vs. 2nd & 3rd).

My humble opinion is that the rock pic is a fake. However, we don't know from where the pic came to do any research into its authenticity.

I always wondered what captive otters, desperate to escape the crushing grip of Man, looked like. Now I know. The look anthropomorphic.

Probably an evolutionary adaptation designed to lull us into complacency before they rip out our eyes and escape when the gate is open for feeding time.

Although I'm sure there is a good reason the otters are in that cage, that image saddens me.

If they weren't in the cage, they'd rip you to shreds.

Follow! But! follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty big pointy teeth.
