Zoo Denies Viral Claims Its Bears Are ‘Humans in Disguise’ - Lemmy.world

That’s a ludicrous idea, why would they put humans diguised as sun bears? They’re obviously racoons disguised as bears.
Bears are people, too.
Bear Lives Matter
Oh noooo the bear has ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl
Listen that bear was no angel
On one hand, I highly doubt they have humans in bear costumes in this heat. On the other hand, Chinese zoos are known for purposefully mislabeling animals in their habitats, such as a Tibetan mastiff dressed like a lion, and many others.

Wait... I'm German and even I got the joke... how little humour do the people at this zoo have?

On the other hand... why are they so eager to deny this? That's exactly how someone would behave if the jokes hit a nerve...

I’m sorry but I don’t think bear ass flesh folds like pants on a concave ass.
It’s definitely a real bear, watch the video. It’s just very wierd to see it standing
Had me in the first half, but as soon as it catches that food you can tell its real. How tf its head look plastic in the still? Lol
It’s definitely wearing shoes, whatever it is.
Well, it’s China so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were, then again, this is a culture that routinely throws coins into jet engines for “luck” so… I could believe it either way. I’d believe it if it were Florida or Texas too.

Ridiculous.

In reality all bears are fake. Have you seen one move? Or even worse, a shaved bear? No animal is that shape. They’re all animatronics run by a secret cabal of Potoos.

I will have you know that bears are very real. They wear hats and ties and eat pic-a-nic baskets.
Sounds like something a human in a bear costume would say.

they are definitely real animals and not people.

Nothing suspicious about that!

Uhm… yes right.
If you’ve ever seen a sun bear you know it’s a valid suspicion
