A zoo in central China has been accused of trying to pass off a dog as a wolf after keepers replaced the beast with a domesticated animal when it 'died of old age.
A video showing what appears to be a Rottweiler lying in the 'wolf' enclosure at the Xiangwushan Zoo in Xianning, Hubei province, was posted to social media on Tuesday.
Zoo visitor Mr Xu posted the short video, which has since gone viral, with the caption: 'Woof! Are you a wolf?
A zoo employee confirmed to local media that the guard dog was only being kept in the cage temporarily.
An employee hinted to Shine.cn news that the zoo 'didn't have enough visitors to keep the zoo up and running well.
