A zoo in China has admitted its star attraction, two so-called pandas, are just painted dogs. The fluffy Chow Chow dogs painted to resemble the country’s beloved national animal were seen in a video shot by a visitor to the zoo in southern Guangdong province.

In a twist that’s straight out of a comedy sketch, a zoo in China is facing serious side-eye after their “pandas” were caught doing something that real pandas don’t typically do: panting and barking. Yep, turns out these bamboo-loving, monochrome “bears” were actually painted dogs. Chow Chows, to be exact.

Visitors of a Chinese zoo have revealed via social media posts that the pandas in the Chinese zoo are not the real pandas. They have also criticized the zoo authority.
