Fake Pandas At Chinese Zoo Spark Outrage And Laughter

• A visitor at a Chinese zoo was left fuming after discovering that the so-called pandas were actually painted Chow Chow dogs.
• These dogs, dyed black and white to resemble pandas, were defended by the zoo as "panda dogs," not real pandas.
• Netizens couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of these quirky creatures, turning the situation into a viral sensation.

Who doesn’t love a good zoo visit? There’s something magical about getting up close and personal with exotic animals from all over the world. But for one visitor in China, the experience wasn’t exactly what they expected. Instead of spotting majestic pandas, they were greeted by a pair of dogs painted to look like the iconic black-and-white bears. Naturally, this left the visitor less than thrilled.

Painted Pups Take Center Stage

The TikTok account of the renowned publication The Sun (@thesun) recently shared a video that sent waves of shock—and laughter—across the internet. The clip showed two Chow Chow dogs that had been painted black and white in an attempt to mimic pandas. These dogs, with their bushy fur and expressive faces, were sporting black paint around their eyes, ears, and legs, while their bodies remained white. It was hard not to double-take!

According to the video's caption, a zoo-goer demanded a refund after realizing that the "pandas" were barking—not roaring. Imagine their surprise when they heard the unmistakable sound of a dog instead of a panda!

The Daily Mail reported that the zoo indeed admitted to dyeing the Chow Chows but insisted there was no intent to deceive. They argued that they never claimed the dogs were actual pandas. Instead, they referred to them as "panda dogs," a term that seems to have sparked more questions than answers.

Take a look at the video below to see the "panda dogs" in action:
