This is stupid, I’ve seen bears stand on two legs once with my own eyes and a bunch of times in onliner videos.
Ive never seen a bear irl. Im not even sure we have them in the uk but i have always thought of bears as being able to stand on two legs.
Real convenient story to get the heat off of suspected bears disguised as humans… 🤔

The still photo looks sus af. The video, once it plops down and walks away on all fours, is clearly legit. Also, its jowls look pretty real.
It does make me think this sun bear has learned to stand up and mimic humans, goofing on how gawky and awkward we look though.
The bear is playing us. Like, it’s the clever one in this whole interaction.Bears are one of the few animals beside us that are plantigrade. They walk on the same parts of their foot that we do. This is in comparison to a dog or cat or a ton of other species that walks on their toes.
I imagine people see bears are plantigrade and unconsciously realize something is up with that, but not what. I don’t think the bear is mimicking our stance, as standing up like that sometimes to look around is a bear thing already.
Sun bears are just weird. They pretty much always look like people in bear suits. It’s hilarious.
Huh. Another bear story. This is getting… un…
No. I’m not gonna do it. I won’t say it. I have standards.

That video did make me paws for a moment.
I really wish they would’ve panda camera to get a better perspective, though.
Maybe the operator wasn’t properly koalafied.
Ugh, this is stupider than reddit.
This is what Reddit was like 8 years ago

It’s definitely a real bear, watch the video. It’s just very wierd to see it standing
“Denies claims” Who tf made such a loud enough claim the government felt it necessary to respond?
As far as I can tell, the government said nothing, it was just a staff member from the zoo.

It’s obviously a Honey Heist that almost went wrong.
I love this game. It’s a great intro for people who want to get into tabletop rpgs.
Filing it under “some people make dumb conclusions and the Internet amplifies it”
Dang, this is like a reverse Sir Bearington situation
What if it’s an alien in a bear costume?
Someone needs to just prove this and jump in to fight the bear…
Other Chinese zoos have been accused of trying to pass off dogs dyed to look like wolves or African cats, and donkeys painted to look like zebras.
