No it isn't. It is an animated WEBP file, as can be seen from its header.
Please see https://developers.google.com/speed/web ... #animation

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

That's disappointing. Is support for animations planned?
