Spot the Fake!

Can you spot the fake? The Melbourne Zoo has dotted around the zoo sculptures (or perhaps they're real, stuffed and glazed - who knows?) of reptiles and animals in their natural habitats. It was a little disconcerting to come across a snake within striking reach until I realised it wasn't real. Others were equally fooled and all around the zoo I would hear people say 'is that real or is it fake?' if the animal, bird or reptile wasn't moving. In fact we watched a Brolga settle into its nest to rest and then a mother and son arrived shortly thereafter and she was telling her son it wasn't real - until we informed her otherwise. It really wasn't that easy to tell. Can you spot the fake(s) below?
