Is this content of a website a gif or a video?

If you go to this website, and scroll down to kind of the third "set" of pages, you see a news, under the title of "Destacados", signaled below in red:

Now, the image of that news is dynamic, like a gif. I went to the source code of the page, and the image seems to be contained here:

<div class="articulo__interior">
<figure class="foto  foto_video " itemprop="image" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject">
<script type="text/javascript">

But I cannot figure out what exactly it is. Is it a video? Or a gif? If the former, why not use the latter, perhaps easier and less demanding in terms of resources?

Solution

  • The 'image' is a video. One way to confirm this is to use inspector and view the source of the page, then locate the element.
