No, China’s Sun Bears are not escapees from a furry convention, humans in a fur suit despite allegations to the contrary!
A zoo in eastern China has denied allegations that their Sun Bears are humans in costume, pointing out that a costumed human would only last a few minutes in the triple-degree heat before collapsing. Chinese zoos have also been accused of spray-painting dogs to make them look like wolves, and painting donkeys to resemble zebras…

Not all bears are big hulking menaces. The Sun Bear is the smallest bear species, and stands about 50” tall on his hind legs. From the back or side, the bear does present a rather human-like appearance, especially when it interacts with humans by waving its paws. But no, that’s not some dude in a suit…
