It has since been discovered that the zoo, located in the People's Park of Luohe within the central province of Henan, has used a number of common species as replacements for exotic animals.
The 'African lion' was actually a Tibetan Mastiff, which is a large and long-haired breed of dog.
A visitor, identified only by her surname Liu, reported the zoo after her son noted that the lion was barking.
"The zoo is absolutely cheating us," Liu told Beijing Youth Daily. "They are trying to disguise the dogs as lions."
It has also emerged that the zoo had been using a white fox as a leopard and another dog as a wolf.
