A 4-year-old boy mysteriously appeared in Shanghai Zoo on October 5, one day after he was reported lost in Beijing Zoo.

Xiaohang, who has impaired hearing and minimal language ability, got lost in Beijing Zoo on October 4. The worried parents alerted police immediately and posted notices on the Internet seeking help.

Soon a netizen replied that he had seen a little boy in Shanghai Zoo looking identical to Xiaohang. On the following day, the parents flew to Shanghai and found the boy in a local police office.

Police suspected that kidnappers had taken the boy to Shanghai and abandoned him at the zoo after discovering his physical impairments.
