Tibetan Mastiff Dog Not Best Impersonator of Lion at Chinese Zoo

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Mihee

From SF Gate: “Workers at a Chinese zoo thought nobody would notice when they replaced a lion with a big dog. But then the dog barked. And didn’t really look like a lion.”

I’m not sure what is more amusing or shocking – the thought that people would really think this dog looks like a lion (though I admit without my glasses maybe I would be duped) or that people pay upwards of millions for such a dog.

About Mihee

Mihee lives in the Mid-West with her husband, toddler-aged twins (yes, terrible twos is actually a thing), and baby #3. Though her reserve of brain cells is seriously depleted she is still passionate about Asian American culture, religion and social justice for marginalized people, stories about Korea, sports, and power naps. During the day, she spends a lot of time trying to remember which baby needs to eat or get a diaper change, mentoring and ministering to college students, occasionally taking a walk, writing, watching Sportscenter, or grabbing coffee.
