A zoo in eastern China has denied suggestions that some of its bears were people dressed in costume after videos of a Malayan sun bear standing on its hind legs – and looking uncannily human – went viral, fueling rumors and conspiracy theories on Chinese social media.

Fuck zoos anyways, amirite? This is much better. Paying a person a liveable wage? Giving them fresh air, sun, exercise? Making zoo-goers happy and educated? Now that's what I call progress!!

    That's insane. The article has a guy who talks about how they'll stand on their hinds legs for long periods of time. Makes you wonder what the species would look like 2 hundred thousand years from now.
