It doesn't bear thinking about but the standing one does look a bit "human".

The picture of the bear standing up does look a bit suspect. Human like legs and feet, looks like a bit of a saggy bottom.

Yeah, but it's the cup of tea, and kitkat in his hand that gives it away.

Clearly seriously sub-standard costumes on view here.

If you want to look like a bear, make sure your costume fits properly, you have paws for feet, not shoes, and learn how a bear actually looks when it stands up, and copy that.

It is indeed a schitzu.

[Sipowicz]

I think they've made a boo boo!

You can see the bear's mouth moving as it breathes - not sure that would be easy to replicate in a bear suit.

You can see it's long tongue as well.

Just seen a BBC video on YouTube about sun bears and it says they have extremely loose skin to defend against predators.

Call that a bear? Now THIS is a bear......

[windywillow]

Oops, apologies. I've just noticed this is in News. I expect I'll be in trouble for posting that. :0/

[Old_Geezer]

Doubt it. It doesn't show anyway.

They are bears. It has been confirmed by reliable sources.

[royfromaus]

Looks like a sun bear to me.
