The San Antonio Zoo’s spectacled bear is weighing in after a recent viral video from a Chinese zoo had social media questioning whether or not the zoo’s sun bear is real or a person in costume.
Curt, the spectacled bear at San Antonio Zoo, posted a selfie on social media earlier this week with the caption “#IAmReal”.
The selfie was posted after some heavy skepticism regarding the sun bear at a zoo in eastern China, which went viral after people noticed the animal looked like a human in a bear suit.got a statement from the zoo that read “I’m Angela the sun bear – I got a call after work yesterday from the head of the zoo asking if I was being lazy and skipped work today and found a human to take my place.
While we can’t confirm the status on Angela, KSAT did reach out to San Antonio Zoo to learn a bit more about Curt. San Antonio Zoo officials said spectacled bears are native to South America, residing in the Andes Mountains. “They get their name from the cream-colored markings they often have around their face and eyes, resembling glasses,” said Jacob Downing of the San Antonio Zoo. “Their species population listed as ‘Vulnerable’ by the IUCN, which is primarily due to habitat loss and poaching.”“He is known for often resting in human-like and unconventional ways,” Downing said. “Curt can often be seen swimming in his pool or resting in his hammock.
