“Pandas From Shein”: Internet Jokes After Zoo Visitor Wants Money Back After Seeing ‘Pandas’ Barking

• A zoo visitor in China was furious and demanded their money back after seeing fake pandas in an enclosure

• Social media users in the comment section could not help but express laughter at the unusual animals

The highlight of any zoo visit is experiencing the wonder of seeing exotic animals up close in their natural glory. However, one visitor was sorely disappointed when they saw painted pups instead of pandas.

Chow Chow, for now

The TikTok account for the international publication The Sun (@thesun) shared a video showing two dogs painted black and white to mimic pandas at a Chinese zoo. The animals, believed to be Chow Chows, had black paint around their eyes, ears and legs, while the rest of their bodies remained white.
