Visitors at Shanwei Zoo in China were outraged after discovering that the "pandas" they were admiring were actually painted dogs. The truth came to light when one of the animals began panting and barking, with video footage showing a dog with a curly tail inside the panda enclosure. The zoo initially claimed the animals were "panda dogs," but later admitted to dyeing two Chow Chows to resemble pandas. A zoo representative explained that the stunt was done because they had no real pandas. Pandas or Dogs?
