Zoom in and observe the frog is surrounded by a square box of pixels that don’t quite match the rest of the background. Photoshopped.
This is not the raw photo but rather one that has been compressed for the web. Web compression creates artifacts like this. Nice try.
Better images on Space.com don’t show the background mismatch:

Yep, JPEG compression reduces file size by using a method that takes advantage of areas that have similar colors. As a result, when color changes sharply, often artifacts occur nearby.
