This is the picture that Pierre McGee posted on Twitter over the weekend as a trap for reporters. Sure enough, some reporters fell for it and reported that McGee had purchased these two as pets. McGee then revealed his deception and attacked the reporters for failing to verify the story with the source- him- prior to publishing. I find this hilarious. I think McGee's nickname going forward must be "The Platypus". Is that 75 words yet?
