SA Twitter post has people scratching their heads

Social media was abuzz on Sunday when South Africa’s Department of Tourism celebrated World Wildlife Conservation Day in a tweet saying that wildlife forms “an integral part of the SA tourism offering,” and that “[their]fauna and flora remain one of [their] greatest assets. What left many Twitter users confused though was that the tweet featured not only well known local animals such as African elephant, rhino, giraffe, ostrich and zebra, but also an Asian elephant, a Javan Rusa deer, a tapir and a tiger. A spokesperson for the tourism department, told News24 it was an international day “that focuses on fauna and flora across the globe, hence the picture”, but the tweet was later deleted.
