BEIJING • A zoo in China with a paltry line-up of animals, including inflatable penguins and a single tortoise, has drawn derision from Chinese netizens.
The zoo opened recently in Yulin city in Guangxi province, which has been in the news for its annual dog meat festival, Chinese news site The Cover reported on Thursday.
Guishan Zoo had earlier put out an advertisement saying it had a « penguin invasion ». The ad also boasted activities on Nov 25 and Nov 26 that could « educate visitors about living creatures ».
A banner displaying animals such as the ostrich, peacock, crocodile and penguins from the animated film Madagascar proclaims: « Where to go this weekend? A new zoo has moved in – come visit ».
Following that, photos of what can be seen at the zoo have gone viral on China’s Twitter-like site Sina Weibo.
