Sounds like something a human in a bear costume would say.
they are definitely real animals and not people.
Nothing suspicious about that!
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.
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.
That's a ludicrous idea, why would they put humans diguised as sun bears? They're obviously racoons disguised as bears.
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.
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.
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...
Bears are people, too.

If you've ever seen a sun bear you know it's a valid suspicion

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
