A zoo in China insisted this is a sun bear on its hind legs and not a human in a suit – even though many cast doubt.
— A Chinese zoo has been forced to deny that its sun bear is actually a human in a costume, after video of one standing on its hind legs raised online accusations of a furry imposter.
A video of a bear published on July 28, 2023 at a Chinese zoo has sparked an online debate on its authenticity, with some internet users claiming it as a human in a costume.Many users posted comments doubting that the bear was real, with some alleging that its bipedal posture and wrinkled skin suggested that it was actually a human in costume.
"The zoo director called me after work yesterday and asked if I'd been slacking off by finding a two-legged beast to replace me," the bear, named Angela, said in the statement.Native to Southeast Asia, sun bears are named for a patch of bright orange or cream-coloured chest fur that stands out against the rest of its jet-black coat.
