Was the bear in the Hangzhou Zoo a Human in Costume?

August 3, 2023 5:56am CST
You must have heard the story about the "bear" in the Hangzhou zoo in China which appears to be a human in a bear costume.some people are accusing the zoo management of scamming them of their money while the management has refuted the claims that they dressed humans in the bear costume and the animals are real. The world is confused right now.

I haven't see a picture or video of the pandas from that zoo. But I have read about it. Pandas are native to china, so I don't see any reason why they will hire people to dress up as pandas

@DaddyEvil yeah the skin folds looks like a costume indeed. Though bear can stand like human. It seems a human in costume to me

Look at the photos in my response. It isn't a panda that we're talking about here. That is a sun bear. (Sun bears are native to parts of China into India.)

I have read the story and I have watched a video, when he opened the mouth it was very clear that it's a real bear.

@ogbenishyna The bears stand like that, I have seen bears in the wild and they can stand like humans.

I can´t vouch that it is not a real bear but I would not go near it just in case. I saw the picture.

A Chinese myLotter posted a discussion about this two days ago, I think... That zoo really does have bears for their patrons to view. (If you saw the bear in the photo from that zoo, the way the bear is standing on his hind feet makes the skin on his back wrinkle like a badly fitted costume on a human. I guarantee that is a bear in the photo.) Photo borrowed from SkyNews, China.
