China zoo tries to pass dog off as a lion

Several other animal substitutions made elsewhere in the zoo

China has a pretty big problem with fraud, from knock-off Prada bags to fake soy sauce made from human hair. But surely this one takes the cake: a zoo in the central province of Henan put a dog (a Tibetan mastiff, the breed shown in the picture above) in the lion cage. Visitors also pointed out that a dog was in the wolf cage, and the leopard cage contained only a white fox.
