Chinaâs Hangzhou Zoo had to go on the defensive this week, insisting their sun bears are actual bears ⊠and not humans in bear suits.
The wild speculation began last week after a video shared to Chinese social media had some questioning whether the black sun bear seen in the footage was the real deal. Many were confused by the bearâs behavior, saying it looked more like that of a person when it stood up on its hind legs â while others called attention to the folds on its body.
While some commented on the video saying the animal was âa real bear, dude,â others were still unconvinced.

To quiet doubters, the Zoo issued a statement from the perspective of the bear in question, a female named Angela, on Sunday.
âSome people think I stand like a person. It seems you donât understand me very well,â it read. âWhen it comes to bears, the first thing that comes to mind is a huge figure and astonishing power⊠But not all bears are behemoths and danger personified.â
She went on to say her species of bear is actually âpetiteâ and âthe smallest bear in the world,â before adding that sheâs âdatingâ a male bear named Dalu but âwants to take things slow.â
Staff members also reportedly said, due to the heat, nobody would be able to last âmore than a few minutesâ in a fur suit âwithout laying downâ â adding that Angela is âdefinitely not a humanâ and because the zoo is government-run, âthat kind of situation would not happen.â
The speculation has been good for business, apparently, as Chao News (via Reuters) reported visitors to the zoo have gone up 30% since the video started making headlines.
