A zoo in China is reassuring people their bears are, in fact, real and not humans dressed in bear suits, after a viral video of one of their Malayan sun bears sparked online debate. Speculation arose after viewers pointed out the upright posture and wrinkled fur give the bear an eerily human appearance.
The zoo has since issued a tongue-in-cheek statement from the perspective of the bear that read, ‘I'm Angela the sun bear - I got a call after work yesterday from the head of the zoo asking if I was being lazy and skipped work today and found a human to take my place.’
‘Let me reiterate again to everyone that I am a sun bear - not a black bear, not a dog - a sun bear!’
