A Nigerian visitor ignited online debate after touring a zoo in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he encountered what looked like a sculpted lion figure confined in an enclosure rather than a living beast.
The episode, recorded in a widely shared video, has triggered extensive conversation across social platforms.
Footage Reveals the Unexpected Exhibit
In the recording, the guest captured a lion‑shaped artifact crafted from what appears to be ceramic, situated behind the bars of a cage.
The placement of the imitation animal behind the fence created the illusion of a real lion on display.
Visitor Voices Displeasure
Responding to the discovery, the visitor questioned why a replica was being exhibited instead of an actual lion.
He further alleged that the zoo’s administration misled guests who had paid to view genuine wildlife.
