It isn't fake. It's from an early version of AO. Paramites and Scrabs could never be used in the same level as eachother. They took that much memory up, and if the memory was piled up onto a level, it would freeze and lock-up. So they had to use them in different levels.
To the best of my knowledge, that's just a fan theory. We don't actually know why OWI chose to take the paramites out of the stockyards. My personal opinion is that they wanted to spread out the introduction of the two wildlife species and not show them both in the one level.
I remember a quote from OWI that said quite plainly that if a Scrab and a Paramite were to meet in Abe’s Oddysee or Abe’s Exoddus, the game would crash. They used this to compare with Munch’s Oddysee, proclaiming how the upcoming game would feature whole herds of Scrabs and Paramites interacting.

But I can’t find the quote back.
