A zoo located in People’s Park of Luohe in the province of Henan is receiving a major backlash from its paying visitors because zoo staff reportedly tried to disguise a Tibetan mastiff with a fancy hairdo as a lion.
The jig was up when visitors heard the dog’s “roar,” which sounded curiously like a bark…
According to People’s Daily, the zoo also tried to disguise fox-like animals as leopards and the snake cage apparently only had rats in it. Um, okay.
The zoo is currently under investigation for this tomfoolery.
