This isn’t even the first time is it?
Wow, that's nuts
Why is this news? This was already known 2 months ago. The news should be that they kept lying for so long.
No, painted dogs are something else.
those are gorgeous.
also probably severely misunderstood.
“I came here to see the painted dogs. What the hell are these pandas?”
Boy, nature just threw all the paints it.
It's a shih tzu
Goddamn you...
Chow chow
Ahhh, now that's a fine pun you got there.
I regret that I have only one upvote to give for that awesome comment
Wow.
China: Why does everyone question our discoveries?
Also China:
But aren’t pandas from China? I was expecting this to be some other country that, you know, doesnt have pandas.
Pandas are owned by the government. Not everyone in China can get a panda.

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.
Is it really a zoo or just some side show act charging $5 to see pandas in their back yard?
Did they order their panda from Wish?
Cute doggo, but maybe don’t paint them?
They recalled them from the world famous San Diego zoo.....and the kids broke them the next day.
Ooh that would be a nice scam. Accuse the US of returning painted dogs.
That's the cutest dog I've ever seen lmfao
Well at least they don't need to pay rent to china
Please explain.
Several pandas are in the US, on loan from China, and I think we may be paying rent on some.
But this is in China…
poor vs rich zoo
