I hate to be a buzz kill but this looks like it might be a picture from the photographer known to tie up frogs with fishing line. Sometimes he'll super glue them into poses as well, and generally just isn't an ethical animal photographer.
Unfortunately a lot of images like this use fishing wire and super glue to hold the animal in place.
I think the answer will be just as depressing :/
Hint: ends with _oney, and starts with M.
