2. Chow Chow Lion
This one is a personal favourite due to the pure absurdity of the entire situation. A zoo in Fei Zhou sent its African lion to a breeding centre and decided that the best replacement would be a chow chow dog.
They were caught red handed when a woman took her son to hear the animals and was outraged when the dog barked.
Not being funny, but surely you only need to look at that thing to realise it’s not a fucking lion. The owners of the park tried to quibble their way out of it, although further investigations showed that there was a white fox in a leopard’s den and another dog being disguised as a wolf.
It was hailed the worst zoo in the world, although if I’m honest all zoos are pretty hellish establishments; at least this one offers up a bit of comical relief. Definitely can’t be worse than this place.
