Kung Faux Panda

Canoe.com reported that a Chinese zoo in the Guangdong province has admitted what many had already guessed: that its “pandas” were actually dogs with their fur painted. Some visitors shared photos and videos of the critters doing very un-pandalike things, such as panting, barking and wagging long tails. Commenters had a field day: “It’s a PANdog,” one wrote, another called it “the Temu version of a panda.” Zoo officials admitted they had painted two chow chow dogs. Some visitors have since demanded refunds.
