But I think it might not be real because anyone who goes to that much trouble to paint a bus will put the name of the zoo on the side too.
I once worked for a year for a big sticky paper/plastic company. During my training one of the things I learned was that printing onto sticky plastic has made this sort of custom job much much much cheaper. Whereas once you had to paint the actual bus, now you download the pics onto a template and have it printed it out on big bits of sticky plastic, which is fitted onto the vehicle like a jigsaw. You can have perforated see-through sections for the windows, so you can cover pretty much the entire bus.

And when you're done with that ad/image, it's relatively easy to remove, ready for the next ad to be stuck on.

You can see loads of examples by googling "bus wrap" or "vehicle wrap" for images.
