Dressed mastiffs
Workers zoos, it must be admitted, quite creative narodec. I do not know whether the air is so specific, that if the situation makes dodge. Some time ago, the Egyptians excelled - painted horses under normal zebras. However, the paint greedy - flowed after the rain. And so - nothing, visitors did not complain.
The Chinese went on. Well, that's understandable. They are generally more thorough and hardworking. So what they udumali - dressed Tibetan mastiffs. Pulled them skins of lions. (By the way, there is really little animal the size of a medium-sized king of beasts). How much they izmudrilis a stick - I do not know. Again, on the part of the visitors were not complaints as long as mastiffs not started barking. As they say, here's the Sharp Falcon and suspicious.
Excuses then sculpted also quite original. Something like: "dogs and lions grow and live side by side ...." Well? For a better understanding decided to literally get into the skin a friend? Jokers in general. But signs promised change.
