How incredibly silly!
These "panda dogs" now seem very popular among China's zoos, especially in mini zoos. Well, I think it is so silly.
What are you on about? They are clearly pandas.
No, these are just Chow Chow which painted like giant panda, not real giant panda.
Chinese zoos have very strict standards for giant pandas, not all zoos can obtain individuals, and generally sent to each zoo are adult pandas, only a small number of zoos and breeding centers are qualified to participate in the giant panda's breeding program.

I never knew that pandas are so fluffy and small and cute. They can even lie down and run so fast
. These Chow chow pandas are so cute.
Err……these Chow Chow now seems to be popularized among some small zoos, and they call it "Panda dog", well, it seems that it is just some kind of marketing and publicity methods……

Poor dogs.
It's just a reposted or rehashed article from months ago. Even at the time articles (such as the one I started the thread with) included the point that the zoo had a sign on the enclosure saying they are dogs.
