Angela, a Malayan sun bear at a zoo in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, has become a “superstar” in China. A short video on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, showed Angela standing upright and seemingly interacting with visitors.
While most people were fascinated by this adorable animal capable of standing like humans, others questioned if Angela was a human clothed in a bear outfit. In response, the zoo management confirmed that Angela is indeed a sun bear, and is even dating a male sun bear. Since the video went viral, visits to the zoo have increased by 30%. But hopefully the attention on Angela will be extended to the welfare challenges facing other zoo animals in China.
