I have been known to not get humor, I thought the joke was in sharing someone else documenting a stupid decision of theirs unwittingly, and therefore if it was itself fake it wouldn’t have the same impact
For some people it being fake does ruin it. For a lot (me included) the idea itself is funny. When George Carlin was describing the first time he made a joke, the description described comedy to me. I don’t know exactly what he said but along the lines of: the first time I told a joke it was to my mother. I made her laugh. It was the first time I twisted an idea in such a way that it was funny.
So yeah, two people can look at the same photo/scenario and the person providing a perspective that seems absurd and funny is the comedian. Sorry it’s late but I hope I made sense.
I think the most likely explanation is someone was messing with the Facebook group this was posted in. Although I have no idea how calm a coyote would be if you captured it.
Would a wild (I think coyote?) even let someone wash it? I suspect maybe a tame one that someone used a picture of to make a funny story.
Are you suggesting the post in Lemmy shitpost might be a joke?

Could it happen, maybe. Did it happen, unlikely but possible.
I suspect taxidermy. Take a closer look at its posture. It’s looking straight to the front
