UberFacts tweeted a fake panda 'fact' from David O'Doherty's book
AT OVER SIX million followers, @UberFacts is one of the most widely followed accounts on Twitter. But today it tweeted two ‘facts’ that are definitely, definitely fiction.

These two ‘facts’ are actually from the book 100 Facts About Pandas, written by Irish comedian David O’Doherty, Claudia O’Doherty and Mike Ahern - contains 100 completely false facts about the monochromatic mammals.
Completely false. Made up. Not real. As the comedian pointed out:

At the time of publishing, the UberFacts tweets were still there. We wonder how they’re going to explain this one.
This is the most extensive and brilliant Nicolas Cage prank ever pulled>
