Is A Chinese Zoo’s Bear Really Just A Guy In A Bear Suit?

According to reports, Hangzhou Zoo in China had to put out a statement denying allegations that some of its bears might be people in costumes.

A video posted on Twitter (X) shows what appears to possibly be a person in a bear costume interacting with visitors to the Hangzhou Zoo. The way the rolls of skin shape around the "bear's" lower back and the way he is interacting with guests seem very human.
