  • An image showing an elephant carrying a lion cub with its trunk took another lap around the internet in September 2018, after it was labeled one of the best photos of the century and attached to a backstory reporting that the elephant was saving the cub from exhaustion: This image can't be fairly considered one of the best photographs of this century, because it's not a genuine photograph. The image of the elephant carrying a lion cub with its trunk was created by Kruger National Park and shared to the South Africa organization's official Twitter account, Kruger Sightings, on April Fool's Day in 2018. The original posting was accompanied by the words Sloof Lirpa, or April Fools backwards: The picture of the elephant was taken in 2005 at Kruger National Park.
