...on the joke that the zoo animal is the guy in a costume. I heard a National Park version of it recently, where a guy was hired to give guaranteed moose sightings.
A Chinese zoo has had to deny actually doing that. The sun bear, named Angela, was standing up on her hind legs and really did look kind of like a guy in a fursuit. (There's a video here).
The zoo released a statement in which Angela assured us all she is, yes, a sun bear, and not a human (or a dog, or a black bear).
Sun bears are the smallest species of bear, so the size of a small person, and they are part time bipeds. The females even hold their cubs like women and walk on their hind legs. Oh, and they're adorable.
But definitely not a person in a bear suit!
