Some raised questions about how the bear could stand up so well. They are upright on slim legs. Some people say that bears' skin was drooping around their hips. It looks like a costume that doesn't fit.
The situation became more viral when the Chinese newspaper Hangzhou Daily talked about this bear's standing posture.
Some individuals online speculated the bear was a "human in disguise,"
as reported by CBS News.
An expert from Chester Zoo, Dr. Ashleigh Marshall, confirmed that the bear in the video is real.
She explained that sun bears can often look surprisingly human-like in their appearance.
