It is one of the most bizarre pets to have, but this Netherlands and former Manchester United star is no stranger to the extreme.
Memphis Depay's spell with the Red Devils can be summed up as disastrous, after he arrived with much promise and fanfare from PSV, where he was handed the iconic number seven shirt.
After his failed stint in Manchester, he swiftly moved on to Olympique Lyon, where he discovered his form that saw him return to the Dutch national team where he is one of the most pivotal players.
A serious ACL injury halted the 26-year-old's steady progress, but he is now well on his way to full fitness.

Of course, Memphis named his rare pet after himself, and uses every opportunity to show off his prized possession.
