It's China, I believe it
I saw this on reddit and a user said it's a real bear, it just looks weird because it has very little body fat.
Sun bears are my favorite bears. They always look like they're at a party, and lost the only person they know.
Hmm, could go either way. Bear biology is wacky.
These are very short and small bears. They stand upright an average of 5ft tall, which amongst bears is short enough. Keep in mind even a black bear, another considred small bear, can reach up to over 6ft, 1.82m, tall. Grizzlies and Polar Bears are well over the 8ft, 2.43m, range standing upright. The weight differences are also massive. Their relative size similar peer in the Black Bear is anywhere from 60kg 5o 300kg, or 132-661 pounds. Meanwhile a sunbear is around 27-63kg, 59-143lbs.
With such a lithe bear it creates this oddly human look to them when they stand upright.
I think this is the image
In a spooky twist, these humans may be bears in costume:
Shut up or you'll get us both fired!
first Xi turns into Pooh bear, now this.... maybe this bear thing has a much deeper layer in the meaning of chinese failure?

Xinnie the Pooh just want to take a break from deleting online comments. Leave my boy alone!
That is definitely a dude, look at the costume folding at his butt
Not so sure. In this photo a real Malayan sun bear seems to have a bit of a foldy butt too:
It's called loose skin.
Hmmm why doesn't it sound like a bear?
And why does it keep drinking a Sapporo beer? Smart bear i guess
An employee who answered the phone at the zoo declined to talk about the bears but said visits were being arranged on Monday for reporters to see them.
Uhhhh, I wouldn't go if I were a journalist. "Wanna see a real bear?"
