A moon bear walking upright while wearing a cape and being fed treats by its caretaker has astonished zoogoers convinced it must be a human in costume.
The animal was filmed at the Wannan Wildlife Zoo in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, China, on 23rd September, and the footage quickly spread on social media.
Many visitors and online users insisted it must be a zoo worker in costume.
But zoo staff confirmed on 24th September that it was a real Asiatic black bear, also known as a moon bear, named Dabai.
