Bear or man in costume?

Question

A Chinese zoo has issued a statement after social media users accused them of displaying a man in a bear suit rather than a real bear. Critics point to the skinny legs, wrinkly bum and human like stance but others say that's normal.

But what's the judgement of GAG?

Well I voted man in suit but having done a little poking around it seems like its a real bear and having considered that for a while I realise that should have been obvious because a real man in a bear costume would most likely look more or less shit than that, either very obviously fake like 80's tv's Bungle or it wouldn't be standing on it's hind legs waving at people with a comically saggy ass.

Everything about this is so tragic.

Imagine being so shit at your job that people wouldn't believe that you could be any type of human.

Not even in my worst moments of utter despair could I have imagined such failure.

I guess this shows that we have at least the next best thing though; because somewhere in China there is a man who is so shit at his job that when selecting an animal whose sole purpose is to look like an animal chose presumably the only one on Earth which looks like a man in a costume.

Clearly what needs to happen now is for that bear to go and live in that man's house and for the man to be forced to walk around the carpark of the zoo dressed up to look like person.

It's likely a real black bear. Feet and pranks look bear like and bears have skin surplus since they gain more than 100% weight for the winter sleep.

We meanwhile know that one cannot fully trust the Chinese - except for Miss Chun who treats me really well.

The zoo's statement could be a side pull of the government where Winnie the Poo has a say (nepotism involved?); unclear is of course WHAT they cover up. But - hey - they are commies; and thus suspicious in general.

Anyhow - as long as the being in question IDENTIFIES as a bear, one should not oppress this stance of freedom.

We may think of... it... as a trans bear, perhaps.

In this spirit one may want to add that your way of asking can be seen as somewhat sexist - it could also be a: girl/woman in a bear suit (or one of the other, fictional, genders)

I have seen videos of them walking upright before. He does look pretty tall and his ass is all crinkly, and his legs look unusually stiff and firm.

However, I'm assuming the average person doesn't know that black bears are capable of walking outright, so would automatically assume it's a man in a costume. But I don't know why you'd post this question if it was so obvious. So based on that paradox, I'm gonna ascertain that what we are seeing here is in fact a rare example of a black bear walking upright.

The bear’s adam’s apple is actually the guys face. :D The bear head is just a puppet head.

Now the guy in Japan who paid $14,000 for a dog suit, is playing a much higher level game:

Put a real female bear in with the "male bear" and you will quickly learn if he is a real bear or just bear food!

That's a man in a bear costume, no matter what the Chinese zoo officially says.
