http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/08/china-zoo-lion-dog-tibetan-mastiff-photo.html?mid=google&google_editors_picks=trueThe People's Park of Luohe has a completely reasonable explanation for why the animal inside its lion cage was actually a Tibetan mastiff, a very lion-y-looking breed of dog, as zoo-goers noticed recently when the lion barked:
The chief of the park's animal department, Liu Suya, was quoted by the Beijing Youth Daily as saying the lion had been taken to a breeding facility and the Tibetan mastiff temporarily placed in its cage because of safety concerns.
