The video resurfaces amidst the recent controversy over a bear suspiciously believed to have been a human dressed in a bear costume.

He said he initially thought he had gone to the wrong place, but then he saw a sign on the cage that said African lion.

“The money for the ticket is a small deal. What matters to me more is that I don’t know how to explain the current situation to my kid,” Tang said.

South China Morning Post reported that Pang asked a zoo worker why the dog looked so different from a lion and was told it was only temporary. In contrast, the lion’s enclosure was being renovated.

The worker also claimed the sign was supposed to be removed, but Tang did not buy the explanation.

He said he felt cheated by the zoo and did not know how to explain to his daughter that the dog was not a lion.

The viral video revealed speculation that the Malayian sun bear on display at the Hangzhou Zoo could be a man dressed in a bear costume.

In the video, the bear appeared to have slender legs and folds of fur, giving it an uncanny resemblance to a person acting as a bear.
