Now that Disney’s Christopher Robin has finished filming, it looks like Eyeore has already found a new job.
A visitor at Cairo’s International Garden municipal park in Egypt posted a photo of him posing in front of the zebra. Which sounds pretty normal until you realize that those animals aren’t zebras at all. They’re donkeys.

Not only are the animals much too small to be zebras, their ears are pointy and they have black splotches all over their faces.

The zoo had denied all claims that these are counterfeit animals. But c’mon. They’re clearly donkeys.
TBH, I can’t wait for this to be a huge plot point in the new Shrek movie. Eddie Murphey gets kidnapped, painted, and put in a zoo. Shrek and Dragon have to find and rescue him. Million dollar idea.
