A more exotic liger

Since the birth of a female panda cub at a zoo in Bangkok, Thailand has entered a state of panda-monium. Some creative zookeepers, desperate to circumvent the attention back to the elephants (Thailand's national symbol), created a whole new breed of zoo creature: the pandaphant. Slathered in black and white watercolor paint to resemble the more popular pandas, these dressed-up beasts are paraded before schoolchildren to entertain (or, more likely, confuse) them.
