A zoo in Cairo’s International Garden municipal park has come under fire for trying to deceive visitors by painting a donkey with black stripes to make it look like a zebra.

Student, Mahmoud A. Sarhani, who had recently visited the recently opened zoo posted a photo of a strange-looking zebra. Not only did the animal have usually-long ears, but it also had some strange paint smudges on the side of its head.

Apparently, zoo staff painted a common white donkey with black stripes, trimmed its mane to make it look pointy and tried to pass it off as a zebra.

Unfortunately, the hot weather caused the paint to smudge which attracted unwanted attention from the zoo visitors.
