Dogs are descendants of wolves, but the two are not the same – unless you are apparently a zoologist in central China.
Visitors to the Xiangwushan Zoo in Xianning, Hubei Province, China, were confused this week when they found a rottweiler inside the wolves.
A visitor’s video went viral after he filmed the animal in the cage as he said, “Alas! Are you a wolf? ”
The man who filmed the footage told Beijing News (via the BBC) that staff told him that “there was a wolf (once), but he died of old age”.
The local press reported that the employees of the zoo claimed that the dog will be there only in a short time, but that the zoo, which also has (real) lions and tigers. he was now told by the local forestry office to remove the sign leading to the premises.
Chinese social networks have not stopped. On Weibo, a commenter said, “At least you get a husky (it will look more like a wolf).”
Since then, the zoo has been asked to remove the “wolf” sign. Not a word about the future rottweiler.
