Chinese zoos are the best! Of bears, lions and zebras...

Debates


Did anyone see the waving bear in a Chinese zoo?

Well, here's a link to it, in case you missed it:

It's a Dutch link, but the video's all the same (and the bear obviously isn't speaking Dutch. Or English. Or Mandarin for that matter).

Anyhoo, reading the newspaper, I was drawn to the title: "Chinese zoo denies that bear is a man in a suit."
I mean, the mere fact you have to deny this is interesting enough.
But... then you scroll down... and read (and I've translated this for you):

"In the past, Chinese zoos have been accused of deception. A Luohe zoo once tried to pass a hairy dog off as a lion. And a zoo in Henan was accused of painting stripes on a donkey to make it look like a zebra."

Now, this obviously piqued my interest.
Here's the "Lion":

And here's the "Zebra":

Now, I guess at this moment in time, like me, you're thinking: "Oh yes! Chinese zoos are place of true wonder... are there more examples?"

And yes. Yes there are.

I dare anyone to look at the tiger and not burst a seam.
Imagine going to the zoo and seeing that in the tiger's cage!

God damn. Life is funny.

Anyhoo... not really a debate. I'm sure we're all in agreement that fake zoo animals in China is a thing of majestic beauty.


next there will be a man with huge breast that thinks he is a woman 🙄

I reckon that’s more carnaval circus you’re thinking about.
And I presume they wouldn’t use a cage on your mother.

🤣
