Chinese zoo denies its bears are humans in costume

Images posted online prompt questions as to whether the animals are real – after one is shown standing upright on slender hind legs.

A zoo in China has denied suggestions some of its bears might be people in costumes after photos of the animals standing like humans circulated online.

Hangzhou Zoo said on social media that the sun bears from Malaysia are smaller than other bears and look different, but insisted they were the real thing.

“Some people think I stand like a person,” the post written from the bear’s point of view said. “It seems you don’t understand me very well.”

An employee who answered the phone at the zoo declined to talk about the bears but said visits were being arranged on Monday for reporters to see them.

Internet users questioned whether the zoo’s bears were genuine after photos circulated showing one standing upright on slender hind legs.

“Because of the way they stand, some people online question whether they are ‘humans in disguise,'” Chinese newspaper Hangzhou Daily said.

Man dressed as a BANANA stopped by police for carrying an AK-47 RIFLE to advertise new shop

The slippery customer had nothing untoward planned and was merely trying to draw attention to the nearby Golden Triangle Tactical outlet. A man dressed as a BANANA brandishing an AK-47 RIFLE was stopped by police. But he wasn’t planning anything untoward – he was apparently advertising a nearby shop. And it sort of worked as the 18-year-old attracted lots of attention, albeit from the long arm of the law.

Local reports suggest that he had the barrel of the gun pointing downwards and was pointing to Golden Triangle Tactical with his other hand. Citing his second amendment right to carry a firearm, the teenager escaped criminal action at the time. He was however cited for unlawful soliciting by the roadside. But he may still be subject to criminal charges down the line for the 50-round magazine attached to the rifle.

Bill Gates dresses in CHICKEN COSTUME to promote his new website with a catchy viral video

Bill Gates has dressed up as a chicken in a viral video to promote his new website. The Microsoft founder figured that his appearance on the talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon would be the perfect platform to do it. While chatting to Fallon about his latest venture, GatesLetter.com, Gates suggests he’d like to get a viral video out.

Fallon doesn’t think he has time to help but Gates takes over the show with his bizarre clip. In a variety of guises including an afro, a fake beard, some dodgy specs and even a chicken costume Gates recites his website name in a repetitive – and quite catchy – manner. The video is certainly doing its job – it has over 400,000 views in less than 48 hours.
