A Chinese zoo fought furiously after painting dogs orange and black and presented them as tigers after it became ridiculous because he had pulled a similar stunt to make dogs look like panda -bears.
A video shared on Douyin, the Chinese version of Tiktok, shows a Chow Chow Puppy covered with black and orange stripes while walking around and plays in the fence in the Qinhu Bay Forest Animal Kingdom Zoo in Taizhou.
However, users of social media were not fooled because they soon noticed that the animal caught on the camera was not a big cat.
“Isn't that just a dog,” wrote a social media user.
Another joke: “They definitely don't dare to bathe their dogs for fear of discoloration.”
After he was contacted by local media, the Qinhu Bay Forest Animal Kingdom confessed that the animal was dyed a native 'Chow Chow in a' tiger dog ', not a tiger.'
Separate images showed two dogs that are native to China, which must be white, with the animal print.
The zoo claimed that the dying of the dogs had just been 'a gimmick', although they said that all dogs had been painted professionally and that there was no risk to their health.

This is the last deceptive step from the zoo, after it was reportedly painted puppies black and white so that they looked like pandas.
The zoo is not the only facility in China that becomes entangled in fake animal scandal.
In September, visitors demanded their money back from a zoo in Guangdong after being misled by thinking that the pandas shown were in fact pandas.
After ruthless quizzes by local media, the zoo was forced to admit that they had painted two fish fishing.
Taizhou Zoo in the province of Jiangsu also led furiously in May when it was said to have painted small Chow Chow dogs to look like pandas.
These dogs had shortly shortened their fur before black -white dye was added to their face and body.
The attraction was quickly closed by the locals accused the zoo of animal abuse
The zoo defended the 'Panda dogs' to show because they have none of the actual animals that visitors have shown.

A spokesperson for the zoo said at the time: 'Many people come to visit them and you have to stand in line.
'There are no panda horses in the zoo and we wanted to do this.
“You can see them between 8.30 am and 5 pm.”
The spokesperson also hit back to the accusations of cruelty and said: “People also paint their hair. Natural dye can be used on dogs if they have a long fur. '
