A zoo in southern China placed a golden retriever in a lion enclosure while they relocated the big cats.

The video, filmed in the city of Xichang in Sichuan Province on March 27, shows a golden retriever in a cage with a lion sign hanging on it.

According to reports, the sign was removed when a reporter visited the zoo on March 29.

The zoo has apologised to the visitors.

The Tragic Loss of Blondie: Another Oxford-Tracked Lion Killed by Trophy Hunters

In a chilling repeat of history, another lion carefully studied and GPS-tracked by Oxford University researchers has been killed by a trophy hunter in Zimbabwe. The lion, affectionately known as Blondie, was part of a long-term conservation study in Hwange National Park—a name that may sound familiar to those who remember the death of Cecil the Lion in 2015.
