A Chinese zoo denies its bears are actually human beings in costumes.
Video clips of the Hangzhou Zoo's sun bears standing and waving began circulating online, with social media users joking about them actually being people dressed as the bears.
The zoo posted on Chinese social media from the perspective of a sun bear named Angela. It read "I got a call after work yesterday from the head of the zoo asking if I was being lazy and skipped work today and found a human to take my place."
The statement reiterated that Angela is "a sun bear - not a black bear, not a dog - a sun bear!"
