Bizarre video of sun bears wearing ‘baggy trousers’ in Chinese zoo
Footage shows two odd looking "pandas" in an enclosure, with one furry animal sticking it's tongue out towards the sun.
Clips taken by visitors appear to show the pups with black ears, limbs, and dark circles around their eyes, but their canineThe zoo claimed it had not misled people as it didn't declare the animals were pandas, explaining instead that they were, in reality, "panda dogs".However, when quizzed by local media, they admitted that they had dyed two Chow Chows, a type of spitz dog that is from northern China and is famous for its very thick coat.
Visitors said they became suspicious of the way the panda panted, and when it barked, they realised it was more dog than it was panda.They are quite popular in China, as they are one of the oldest and most iconic breeds originating from the country.While their popularity may have fluctuated over time, they remain a symbol of nobility and prestige in Chinese society.
But despite the the confusing name, the zoo didn't seem to be trying to fool guests into thinking the dogs were real pandas. A signboard with pictures of "panda dogs" was put up at the zoo, indicating that the name is typically used to describe little dogs that, either naturally or by grooming, can resemble pandas.The Hangzhou Zoo dismissed the claims and said that sun bears from Malaysia are smaller than other bears and look different.Visitors were enraged to discover that an animal in one of the cages was actually a chow chow, despite a clearly placed sign claiming otherwise.
