Everybody check your lions. They may be counterfeit.

China zoo tries to pass dog off as lion.

I could imagine this happening in Florida, but in China? You're better than that, China.

The counterfeit only came to light when "a mother visited the zoo, in a park in the city of Louhe, to show her son the sounds different animals made." So if there hadn't been someone specifically checking animal sounds, the zoo might have gotten away with it.

After the lion fraud was discovered, people subjected the other animals in the zoo to additional scrutiny by, I don't know, maybe looking at them. They found "a white fox in a leopard's den and another dog being passed off as a wolf." I predict that, after careful veterinary examination, that "white fox" will turn out to be a spray-painted dachshund.
