[QUOTE][B]Visitors expecting an array of exotic animals at a zoo in southern China were left disappointed when they were confronted with inflatable penguins.[/B]As the first zoo to be set up in Yulin, Guangxi province, locals were keen to see what Guishan Zoo had to offer.
It had been advertised as a place to see rare animals and learn about wildlife.
Beside the plastic blow-up penguins, attractions included a handful of roosters, geese and a tortoise in a tank with a sprinkling of money around it.[/QUOTE]

Why
This is depressing.

Tortoise food is very expensive. Cheaper to just feed it cash.

Visitors chucking money at it for good luck. Not sure for theirs or the Zoo's, considering the state that it's in.
This is a "zoo" in the same way that you can technically drink water out of a lotion bottle.

That's rather depressing.
zoos in china are some of the shittest places on earth
Title led me to believe the penguins literally shocked the visitors because they suddenly exploded out of their hole or something

Is anyone by any chance able to translate this?

on the bright side the penguins dont have to live in such a shitty enclosure

it's basically saying it's a lucky turtle that will bring you a long life. it's a half-assed attempt at preying on chinese superstition
