Is this a living Diplocaulus?

I found this on Imgur and Reddit. No explanations, no photographer ID, no location....nothing but photo.

No it is not. It is probably a model. Very nice one though.

Stunning model! I love the paint scheme. Although, I do have a friend who claims that he encounters triangle-headed salamanders in eastern Oklahoma from time to time.

cool model!  I like the frilly skin flaps.

I've seen other photos of supposedly still living diplocaulus before.  this one looks pretty good too:

The tail seems a little too long to be Diplocaulus, other than that though this is a stunning piece, I love the mata-mata turtle influence!

That is indeed a model.    Theres a photo of the Sculptor holding it on facebook.

I honestly thought it was another Salamander, until i took a look at the head

Looks like a Hellbender with the neck of a Mata mata and the head of a Diplocaulus.

Nice sculpting though.

There seem to be models which look so realistic. This is terrific! This is not even diorama style anymore, this is close to cryptozoology pictures.
Are there any dinosaur pictures of the same style?  I mean, photorealistic dinosaurs?
