Shanwei Zoo Admits 'Pandas' Are Painted Dogs
Sep 20, 2024, 02:30 PM
A zoo in Shanwei, China, has admitted to painting Chow Chow dogs to resemble pandas after visitors became suspicious when the animals started panting and barking. The zoo initially claimed the animals were a rare breed of 'panda dogs' but later acknowledged the deception. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu province. The zoo stated on tickets and signs that the animals were dogs, not pandas. The story has gone viral, with coverage by AsiaWire.
