Visitors to a zoo in southwestern China were left shocked and confused when they saw a golden retriever in a cage intended to accommodate an African lion.
In a video clip that circulated widely on social media this week, a man only identified by his surname Tang, took his child to visit Yuanjiashan Zoo in Xichang, Sichuan, on Saturday but was startled when they found a golden retriever in the African lion enclosure, despite signage introducing the animal as a feline.
“At first, we thought we had gone to the wrong place. But after walking around the cage, we realised it is where the lion should be housed,” Tang said in the video.
“Is that an African lion? Is it because it hasn’t grown up yet? It looks familiar to me,” he joked.
A worker of the zoo told Tang that the cage had housed a lion in the past, however, the animal had been moved to another location, he said. “We are adjusting the animals’ accommodations, with the lion’s sign not taken down [from the cage] yet,” said the worker in the video.
However, Tang said he did not accept this. He accused the zoo of selling tickets promoting lions. He also said he found no lions anywhere else in the zoo. “The money for the ticket is a small deal. What matters [to] me more is that I don’t know how to explain the current situation to my kid,” said Tang.

If the CCP says it's a lion, I'm not disagreeing. If I'm in China.
Lol. Everything China produces is counterfeit.
Keep repeating and it will be true.
Does he bite?
Just sick. My heart breaks for those animals and, as a dog person, even more.
I laughed so hard I drew attention.
It is fine so long as the appropriate party is identified as a lie ..err ...
Poor pup.
I’ve heard of a few other times when someone in either India or China pulled this stunt. I guess sometimes, you get away with it, then there’s always that one tourist who takes a closer look.
Ah thats ok
Dems and media are playing Biden as president
OMG, did they feed it to a lion? Primitive b***ards.
The Chinese try to pass off a Golden Lab as a lion, then they expect us to believe the Coronavirus didn’t come from Wuhan!
The next fortune cookie I open is bound to say “Confucius say honest man no longer exists.”.
Hes.alive and not hanging skinned in a market. Just saying. Golden goose phase.
I agree. As much as it is neat to see animals/birds etc from whole other continents that are wild, it is very painful to see any of them caged. It’s heartbreaking.
“Marvel at its slavering maw!”
“Be disgusted by its cold oozing nose!”
“In Daggerfall, packs of these horrible monsters roam the streets at night, and prey upon the unwary!”
“My own father, Divines save his soul, was torn to pieces by just such a pack.”
“Can you not feel the hatred that burns within its belly? Bars barely contain its hunger!”
“For five gold, gaze into its eyes, peer into the face of death itself!”
“For ten, place your hands upon its fur, feel the muscle of a true killing machine!”
That lion don’t hunt.
The Communists identify it as a lion, therefore it is a lion.
And it should be permitted to participate in lion games.
