Humans are accidental intermediate hosts that become infected by handling soil, dirt or animal hair that contains eggs.
☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinococcosis
Foxes, coyotes, domestic dogs, and other canids are the definitive hosts for the adult stage of the parasite. Cats may also be involved. The head of the tapeworm attaches to the intestinal mucosa by hooks and suckers. It then produces hundreds of microscopic eggs, which are dispersed through the feces.
Humans can become an aberrant intermediate host by accidentally ingesting eggs of E. multilocularis when handling infected animals or consuming contaminated food, vegetable, and water.
The only source I trust!
My 600mm lens can’t focus closer than something like 13’. So I’m assuming photographer used cell phone or maybe a static glass window so he could swap lenses inside and not disturb the animals.
The top shot shows the fox staring straight into the photo tube, but the bottom shot was taken from above. So it was likely a change of position as well as camera.
Could it have been a wide angle lens and cropped? I think you’re right but just wondering.
We shouldn’t forget that the whole thing could be an AI-generated fake.
