In August 2016, a photograph purportedly capturing an endangered and rarely-seen animal known as a marbled fuark, found only in the sparse woodlands of Eastern Cambodia, began recirculating on social media. As is often the case, this image does not depict a real animal, but rather a piece of artwork -- this one created by Lee Cross, an Alaskan artist who goes by the name Wood Splitter Lee on social media. This particular piece, a Hand Made Posable Fantasy Prehistoric Tundra Stag, was sold by Cross in 2012: Lee Cross created another version of the Prehistoric Tundra Stag in August 2016: This isn't the first time that a custom handmade figurine has been mistaken for a real animal. Similar rumors have circulated about baby owls, furry albino tarantulas, and Southeast African Monkeys.
