Perhaps it was only a case of mistaken identity when a zoo in Cairo,Egypt tried to pass off two donkeys painted to look like zebras,though when visitors began questioning the exhibit's authenticity zoo officials denied counterfeiting the animals. One visitor took the pictures of the animals in question to a veterinarian who examined the photos and agreed that the striping looked painted on as it seemed to be smudging. I also think the ears are a giveaway as you can judge for yourself from the following photos. This isn't the first time a zoo has substituted an animal,in 2013 a Chinese zoo substituted a Tibetan Mastiff (dog) for a lion who was away at a breeding facility.
