“What happens there is that it’s not a panda. I even tried to find out what kind of “panda dog” it is, ”says the expert.

According to the biologist, in countries like China it has become fashionable to depict dogs as pandas, especially chow chows. “But it was really very similar. When I first saw it, wow,” comments Enrique.

However, despite the resemblance, the biologist suspects that the dyes used to dye the dog’s fur could harm the animals. “I admit, it turned out very nice, but that’s it, it’s bad for the animal, so no, you can’t do that,” he says.
