The Internet is filled with numerous images ranging from unbelievably beautiful to quite bizarre. However, with the technology available to us today, you may or may not be surprised to find that many of those images have been tampered with. It is getting harder to tell which images are real and which aren't, with sophisticated design software like Adobe Photoshop being made available to the general public. I have posted an example of an altered picture above. It is a picture of a pair of jackalope, a species of rabbit with antlers which have long been rumored to exist. The manipulation is obvious; antlers have been added to the heads of two rabbits to convince others that the creature actually does exist. This particular image was found on a postcard. No one knows when it was created. I chose this image to share because the jackalope is an interesting (though fake) creature, and the image is very convincing. It is a harmless picture because it is a fairly common knowledge that the jackalope does not exist.
