That's not the An225, that's an An124 with a similar paint job. You can tell by the tail. It tricked me at first too.

If I’m not wrong. AN225 doesn’t have the front loading capacity too. It’s loaded from the back.

It’s not the same plane though, if you look at the tail wing or the silver front edge of the main wing.

Oh, no no no, this is actually just a plane shedding its skin, like a snake. In actuality, humans just fly around in the shed skin; you wouldn't believe the industrial plane farms we have to encourage the shedding of skin we can use.

Look closely: these planes are different. Some planes lay eggs into other planes and this is how it looks when the baby plane eats the host

No, big planes have to do this sometimes after digesting excess passengers and cargo.

After the baby plane comes out it takes a week for it's wings to grow in

There was an episode of Farscape about this.

When your plane doesn't pull out on time...
