(Washington Times) A Chinese zoo’s cover was blown when a little boy noticed its ferocious “African lion” was barking.
The zoo in the People’s Park of Luohe, in the central province of Henan, reportedly replaced its lion with a Tibetan mastiff — a large and long-haired breed of dog, according to the state-run Beijing Youth Daily.
A customer surnamed Liu wanted to show her son the different sounds animals made, when he pointed out the lion was barking.
“The zoo is absolutely cheating us,” Liu told the paper.
