Dr Christian fell for a bad photoshop and got absolutely ripped for it
Dr. Christian Jessen seems like a lovely guy. The TV doctor you may recognise from Embarrassing Bodies and Supersize vs Superskinny or his great work promoting HIV testing, obviously – like most of us – wants to believe there’s true good in the world, as this tweet shows.
Isn’t this the most stunning picture?!
A lioness and her cub were crossing the savannah; the heat was excessive and the cub was in great difficulty. An elephant realized that the lion cub would die and carried him in his trunk to a pool of water, walking beside his mother. 😍 pic.twitter.com/M6qWik11tQ— Dr Christian Jessen (@DoctorChristian) 16 April 2019
If that were true, it would definitely be a sign of inherent good overcoming baser urges – if it were true. It is, of course, a Photoshop job, as others were quick to point out.
If @Coldwar_Steve did nature pics. https://t.co/SWrkjiVI5S

And then a unicorn walked up and said, "This all quite badly photoshopped isn't it?" and everyone on the bus cheered. A https://t.co/od2IsHTqwo

Gentle mickey-taking ensued.
That’s not even the full image, someone has cropped it…
If you look at the original there’s also a giraffe trying to eat a man in a balloon and that vulture is about to fly away with a baby hippo. pic.twitter.com/BFPQangmAZ

This is why Simba and Nala are forbidden to play in the elephants' graveyard. https://t.co/THlRPe0BKC

Pretty angry about this being photoshopped, because I was in the original image organising the whole operation. @jwusher pic.twitter.com/Z9BpdJ0I1f

Damn!
I thought it was real too.
At least this Cockenoserous is real. pic.twitter.com/7WRfEgiMpw— Nige Rudd (@nigelrudd) April 16, 2019
