"Controversial Footage: Thai Zoo Sun Bears Mimic Chinese Zoo Bears' Human-like Behavior"

A video from a Thai zoo shows a sun bear standing upright and waving at visitors, reminiscent of the Chinese zoo bears accused of being humans in costumes. Sun bears, known for their small size and distinctive chest patch, are native to Southeast Asia. The Chinese zoo denied the rumors and explained that a person in a bear costume would not withstand the extreme summer heat. The viral video has sparked debate on social media, with some believing it to be a person in a bear suit and others recognizing it as natural bear behavior.
