No it isn't. It is an animated WEBP file, as can be seen from its header.

Yes, I can only view it in VIvaldi x64 1.12 stable but I don't get any errors in XnViewMP at all just nothing happens, XnView Classic gives error about not being supported.

Hex Editor Neo (free version) reads the header as WEBP VP8X type
AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 3.8Ghz, 16Gb DDR4, RX6600XT with Dell U2520D at 2560x1440@60Hz
Windows 11 Pro x64 23H2, PowerToys and Wintoys

That's disappointing. Is support for animations planned?
