CAIRO: In a bizarre turn of events, a zoo in Cairo has been found out trying to pass off a donkey as a zebra by painting stripes on the animal, but the manager insists it is the real thing.
Visitor Mahmoud Sarhan said he was at the recently-opened animal sanctuary at the International Garden municipal park when he spotted a “strange looking animal.”
In the heat, the black paint had dripped down the donkey’s face and the ears were not the correct shape for a zebra, he said. He then posted a picture on his Facebook page, and it has since gone viral.
