Visitors to a zoo in Anqiu County spotted a long-eared, striped animal that looked very much like a donkey. They captured it on video.
The "fake zebra" was in an enclosure with other donkeys, and zoo-goers immediately realized that it was a donkey too. A video of the painted animal quickly went viral, and internet users began mocking the zoo.
Subsequently, the zoo's management offered an explanation for the "zebra's" presence among the donkeys that many critics found absurd. "We’re doing cosplay. We never said it was a zebra! We didn't even put up a sign saying it was a zebra! It’s just a joke—an abstract joke—to attract visitors," a zoo representative stated.
