People making a beeline
Ever since the picture became viral, many people have been making a beeline at the zoo to catch a glimpse of the lion.
Netizens slam caretakers for messing up the exotic look
Soon after the pictures viral, many netizens disputed if zoo’s caretakers had anything to do with Hang Hang’s unusual haircut. Some people complained that the caretaker has messed up his exotic look. (Image courtesy: Guangzhou Zoological Garden)
Nature’s magic?
In response, the Guangzhou Zoo staff said that they had nothing to do with such a fringe style cut, adding that was "taken care of" by the lion itself.
They said that they wouldn't "dare" cut the white lion.
The keepers claim that the heated temperature is to be blamed for the “bangs” which caused the mane to drop downwards.
