A lion's not-so-purrfect hairdo is raising eyebrows ... prompting a zoo in China to brush the blame off themselves and onto mother nature.
Hang Hang the lion has the Internet buzzing about his rockstar mane, because let's face it ... sure looks like a total failure of a haircut -- but the Guangzhou Zoo claims it has nothing to do with his unique look.
They say high humidity is to blame for Hang Hang's blown-out mullet, claiming the lion licked his paws and brushed his hair out during a recent extreme heatwave.
The zoo chalks it up to "nature's magic," adding Hang Hang looks like a blonde supermodel, but most others don't see it that way. Some say he looks like one of The Beatles, mop-top and all, while many draw a resemblance to the "Tiger King" himself, Joe Exotic.
Zoo visitors are still skeptical the weather is at fault here ... one claims his hair looked nothing like this 2 months ago when they went to the zoo, and some even say the staff has ruined the lion's appearance altogether.
The opinion that really matters, of course, is Hang Hang's ... but he's remained silent. So far.
The anaesthesia may have been wearing off. I can’t imagine doing that to a lion who was fully alert.
She’s telling him to go get his money back
Is it just me, or does that lion look kinda slanty-eyed?
He looks a bit like Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes.
That’s lead guitar player hair.
LOL
