In 2013, a zoo in Louhe, China, angered visitors by trying to pass off a hairy dog as a lion.

As vistors approached the cage marked "African lion," they were shocked to hear the beast inside emit a bark. It was instead a Tibetan mastiff – a large, hirsuite breed of dog.

"The zoo is absolutely trying to cheat us," a visitor said. "They are trying to disguise dogs as lions." Other species in the park were similarly mislabeled, a newspaper reported, with another dog in the wolf cage, and a white fox on display in the leopard enclosure.
