Burmese may be considered introduced, but will not be considerd native. Native species occur in an area historically (prior to European contact) and their migration into an area is not due to human intervention.
The intent of a statement may not be deceit, the result may still be misleading when interpreted by people with no scientific or technical background. A number of misleading news articles use information based on scientific and technical information, using the vernacular of science and technology which may be at odds with popular use of terms. These terms may be used with great specificity in a field of study, but more loosely defined in general use.
Extrapolating the behavior of captive animals to behavior of the same animals in the wild is fraught with difficulty.
