A Chinese zoo in Shanwei has admitted to painting dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo later disclosed they were Chow Chow dogs painted to appear as pandas. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo, which also used painted dogs in their panda exhibit. The zoo faced public outrage after the deception was uncovered.
