At first, I thought that some folks didn't realize that they were fake. Now I'm beginning to think that at least some of those people realize that they're fake, but like them, regardless.
I just don't get it.
Just in case anyone somehow does think this is real, the YouTube poster acknowledges it's fake in the comments.

Great entertainment but.... The video you're referring to—where a leopard brings her injured cub to a man named Marcus on the YouTube channel Echo of Paws—is digitally enhanced and dramatized, not raw documentary footage.
While the story is presented as emotionally compelling and set in a real location (the Masai Mara), the visuals and narrative style suggest significant use of AI-generated or heavily edited content. The channel specializes in cinematic storytelling that blends wildlife themes with human-animal connection, often using digital tools to create immersive scenes.
So, while the message may be inspired by real conservation efforts, the depiction itself is not a verified real-life event. It’s best viewed as a fictionalized or symbolic tale meant to raise awareness and stir empathy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. You're absolutely right, while the story is fictionalized, my intention is to raise awareness and stir empathy for wildlife and the bonds we share with them. I truly value your perspective and your honesty
Emphasis mine.
