"I feel the zoo tricked me with putting a dog in a lion exhibit,” Liu said.

An unnamed zoo employee told the paper that the park does have an African lion, which has temporarily been transported to a breeding facility.

The report failed to address why a fully-manned mastiff was being kept in the lion exhibit.

At least three other kinds of animals were found housed in incorrectly-named exhibits: two rodents in a display labeled ‘snakes’, a fox-like mammal in an enclosure for leopards and another dog in a wolf pen, said the report.
