I think its a real photo of a recreation of the ape.
No, it’s not a real photograph. It says so in the photograph.
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic.
Sure but I think this photograph was taken in an era when the only technology available to make an image that looked like this was photography. At that time “not a real photograph” was the equivalent to the statement “a photograph of something which is not what it appears to be”.
Pretty sure they’re just joking. They’re correct though, it says it’s not real on the photo, photos don’t lie.
