Oh wow, what an amazing and beautiful photo! Possibly the most flattering photo any opossum anywhere has ever taken.

It’s from Nevermore Wildlife Rehabilitation - they take great photos of their rescues!
"Hi, pretty lady!"
Marsupials of unusual size? I think they don't exist.
Can we ban AI Slop here please @WeightedCreepy@lemmy.world @ickplant@lemmy.world 
This is not slop. This is an edited picture by a wildlife rescue.
Here is the video of the same opossum who has become sort of a mascot for them, crawling over the same flowers: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1J2hbhpWyj/

Dont use AI to judge whether something is AI. It doesnt work. Just use your eyes and you would notice its a completely normal photo that just had the saturation pumped up to a weird degree. AI is still nowhere near this level of quality. It doesnt do detailed hair and flowers like this. It also doesnt do irregularities like that single cut stalk.
I agree with the sentiment but not with using a probabilistic ai detector which routinely put out wrong results. I checked for ai watermarks at slopornot.ai and there don't seem to be any, giving the image just a 65% of being ai. Now I agree that the flowers look suspicious but it could still be an artificial flower bed with some oversaturation going on. Unless the source given by op has a history of posting slop, I am inclined to believe this might be real.
