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.
