  1. That’s it. I’m buying an animal costume and changing my career immediately….. $$$$$$$$

  2. The bear is repeating human behavior because it is rewarded for the behavior and the poor bears are surrounded by humans. They need to be with bears to be bears.

  3. This real bear. Malayan bear. You must believe it.

  4. oh my god i love love love love love love sun bears so so so so so so much much much much much i have a sun cub his named is barry❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  5. The story goes that they once was high ranking military officials they got caught for conspiring against the Chinese government so instead of killing them they was turned into zoo exhibits and humiliation by way of witchcraft,sorcery, and bad science experiments gone wrong.

  6. "People are flying to China …" Yeah, because 1 billion Chinese is too stupid to notice the difference between the bear and human in bear costume people need to discuss with professional people than fly there non proffesional people to check. Seams as Amers are calling "people" just themselves 🙈🙉🙊

  7. The sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is the smallest bear species found in Southeast Asia, standing nearly 70 cm at the shoulder and weighing 25-65 kg (55-143 lb). Its common name comes from the white or yellowish crescent marking on its chest, which some people think resembles the rising or setting sun.

  8. In China, you can’t look up the word bear because of the Winnie the Pooh band so none of these people know what a bear looks like probably to them this is bear

  9. That's awesome, I have to admit I posted a comment about those wrinkles in the back. But I was wrong. Ok I admit it..

  10. in the picture it definitely looks fake but seeing it in video makes it more clear that it's real with the way it tongue sticks out and it's face is moving around etc.

  11. Poor bear probably suffering from the Chinese heat
    He's probably wondering why all these people do not do anything to help him get out of his prison
    Instead of talking about his butt wrinkles maybe people should be stop talking about his deplorable living conditions so depressing

  12. If only people took as much interest in preserving the habitat in which the Sun-bear depends for its very survival as a species

  13. Now they need to rescue the sun bears from the bile farms and stop eating dogs and cats 😢

  14. https://youtu.be/1V3JRUfNFsU trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️ utuber trazzzh talk to kork exaggerated facts 🤭 white 🐻‍❄️ people nid improve more fentanyl patch up with the zombie dance everyday 😁🤭😂

  15. It's obviously a man in a bear costume. Typical Chinese people, everything is a knock off. They can't get a real one, so they ripp off people with fake bears.

  16. The moral of the story is … when a bear is unbearable to be a real bear

  17. All zoo should be abolished!! Especially in China. Looks distressed. Humans are dumb!

  18. Look like some Chinese virus has injected to this bear 🐻 now he is behaving like humans

  19. Why don't y'all just go in there and find out for yourselves whether that's a real bear or not.

  20. I love these fun stories that actually have an educational component. I learned something new today because I had never heard of a Sun Bear.

  21. I feel sad for the bear 🙁

  22. When asked if it was a human in a bear costume, the bear replied "No"

  23. I don't wanna know, even with all the scientific explanations, it's still a human with a "bear suit" and mechanized mouth to look like a real one !!!!

  24. Guy dressed in a bear suit…

  25. There was a time when there were dancing Bears who were dressed like Humans, it is a Bear and I have seen Bears like this in Malaya and in Thailand.

  26. Lions are my favorite of the big cats so I'm just going to say this as a joke next time I visit Brookfield Zoo I'll ask if the lions are real

  27. These are not real.

  28. For people to think this is a man in a costume dear God in heaven lol

  29. Look at its mouth u fukin idiots

  30. poor animals to be in a cage all of theyr life .

  31. Truthfully, it's an ensalved Uyghur in that bear costume.

  32. well not the first time we have seen domestic animals imitating humans who they grew up with

  33. How ignorant and stupid for those who think the bears are costume

  34. Where people been sun bears are known to walk stand wave like humans

  35. Sir, if you you give dimensions be consistent 50” then 9’. Inconsistent.👎🏿

  36. I can’t stop following this story

  37. There a problem with the southkorean member of the national assembly goverment

  38. Bears do stand up and wave but that one beat from video from behind looks a little weird and does look like a person with an over sized bear suit on

  39. So depressing — using these poor bears for entertainment. Such a miserable space and life for them. Probably starving them to make them beg for food from paying customers. Pathetic.

  40. That bear needs to worked out his glutes 😅
