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 More from AsiaOne
“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.

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.

Earlier this month, Xiangwushan Zoo of Xianning, Hubei, was exposed for putting a Rottweiler in a wolf’s cage. The zoo’s management said a wolf had lived there before it died because of old age, the Liaoshen Evening News reported.
Two years ago, Jiufengshan Forest Zoo in Wuhan was criticised for deceiving visitors by placing a dog in a wolf’s enclosure.
The zoo claimed there was a wolf there, although not often seen by visitors. The dog was supposedly in the yard so that the wolf wouldn’t get lonely.
“People only saw the dog as the wolf likes to sleep during day time and the dog is more active than the wolf,” the zoo told Jiangxi TV.
Viscous looking little lion ... want money back
It was late spring, so it was time to shave the dog, just a big mutt, hairy mongrel dog. Well, we decided to have alittle fun and do something different, so this year, we left a big mane of hair around it’s neck and just a little around the end of it’s tail...
Later that afternoon, Newjean came runnin into the house, hollarin at the top of his lungs, Lion in the yard, oh lion gonna get us, theys a lion in the yard...Uncle Versie looked out the window and saw the dog, and called Newjean over, and started the scolding...
I’m tired of your lying Newjean, he said, now you get on up to your room and you stay there and pray until you think the Lord’s forgiven you for your lyin bout that dog...
Well, bout dinner time, Newjean came back down, and Uncle Versie asked him, boy, do you think the Lord’s forgiven you for lyin bout that
dog???
Newjean said, yes sir, said the Lord spoke to me, the Lord told me, first time he saw that dog, he thought it was a lion too...

I guess they thought American liberal tourist were supposed to be touring the zoo that day. They are easily fooled. 8>P
Me too.
For some reason, it never occurs to folks to paste the WHOLE TITLE
into the search box and search under "titles".
Keywords are useless, depending upon what some goober THINKS ought to be a keyword.
Have ye not faith in Goobers, they can do you no good.
That’s probably the zookeeper’s supper that he picked up on the way to work that morning.
Or the horse
Not a problem in the West as long as the golden retriever identified as a lion.
This must be why the Chinese tourists keep trying to pet the grizzlies and bison at Yellowstone.
That’s the zookeepers lunch.
