BEIJING: A Chinese zoo's supposed "African lion" was exposed as a fraud when the dog used as a substitute started barking.

 

The zoo in the People's Park of Luohe, in the central province of Henan, replaced exotic exhibits with common species, according to the state-run Beijing Youth Daily.

 

It quoted a customer surnamed Liu who wanted to show her son the different sounds animals made -- but he pointed out that the animal in the cage labelled "African lion" was barking.

 

The beast was in fact a Tibetan mastiff -- a large and long-haired breed of dog.

 

"The zoo is absolutely cheating us," the paper quoted Liu, who was charged 15 yuan ($2.45) for the ticket, as saying. "They are trying to disguise the dogs as lions."

 

Three other species housed incorrectly included two coypu rodents in a snake's cage, a white fox in a leopard's den, and another dog in a wolf pen.

 

The chief of the park's animal department, Liu Suya, told the paper that while it does have a lion, it had been taken to a breeding facility and the dog -- which belonged to an employee -- had been temporarily housed in the zoo over safety concerns.

 

Users of China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo service mocked the zoo.

 

"This is not funny at all. It's sad for both the zoo and the animals," said one.

 

"They should at least use a husky to pretend to be a wolf," said another.

"The Chinese born outside of China, are more Chinese than those from China."

 

Its a very interesting observation. From an FT of non Chinese descent.

my PRC colleague said the Chinese (not from China) maintain their Chinese customary/tradition practise better than China. This is because when communist took over, they destroyed everything including beliefs and traditions.
