Can you tell from the pixels?
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

I'm saying shopped...look at the water/dirt line on the side.  There is no water line on the body of the mower but there is on the front wheel.

What do you guys think of the rest of the images on the site?

And so your hypothesis is that someone constructed the lawnmower from parts inside photoshop, and unfortunately couldn't find an image of a dry wheel?

Honestly, just based my opinion on the OP's picture.  I didn't mash the link, my bad.

The "wet" parts on the wheels look like someone just darkened the wheels or painted them. The water splashes look like they were added. Water splashes are really difficult to make look real in Photoshop, even if you're starting with an existing image. The mower also seems to be a bit more out of focus than the alligator and other parts of the photo in the same focal point.

How come you don't see any dirt or oil around the mower in the water? Not buying the photos. That it could have happened? THAT I have no problems with.
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

Reading comprehension fail.  ;/

Read the caption again.  Then punch "crocodile lawn mower" into the search engine of your choice and look for a video.

Not 'shopped.  It's a frame grab from the vid.
