The People’s Park of Luohe in the Chinese province Henan has an amazing “African lion” on exhibit for spectators. But the most amazing fact about this proud creature is that it’s actually a dog, not a lion.

As Agence France-Presse reports, the hoax was exposed when the dog, a Tibetan mastiff, started barking.

My guess, four and a half years old. But I need to see the teeth to be sure.

Gotta have one of those

Does anyone make a full-body form? Maybe in the "sleeping" or "drool" poses...

definetely pen raised, must be from South Africa...

A few more years that would be a fine Lion.

I wonder if the Tibetan mastiff lion's bones have the same healing powers as the African lion.

As far as the age, he is 6 plus. This is a picture of 3 year old.

I bet you wouldn't even need a high fence or a pen to "hunt" those!
