At first, they claimed it was a new breed called 'Panda Dogs,' but Zoogoers could not believe their lies and forced Management into revealing that these 'pandas' were dogs painted as pandas. The audience online took no time to decipher that the animals were, in fact, Chow Chows, a breed of dog native to Northern China, dyed black and white to mimic the appearance of pandas.

Upon learning the truth, the zoo faced a lot of allegations and backlash, both online and offline. The general public had a negative impact by this scandal, with many voicing concerns over the welfare of the dogs fenced off at the zoo. Disappointed zoogoers have pressured the management to refund their money for tricking them.
