To his shock, a tall, dark figure stood just outside their window. The figure appeared as casual as could be—a bear, standing upright on two legs, nibbling from the bird feeder. Jones was struck by the bear’s oddly human-like stance.

“It’s pretty common in our area to have bear sightings,” Jones explained. “But this one was unique because he was standing like a person.”

A black bear that looked like a man in disguise

Jones had a shocking encounter with a black bear that resembled a man in disguise. He quickly captured the astonishing scene and shared it on his Facebook account.

In the footage, the black bear was caught raiding a bird feeder intended for birds. The bear displayed remarkable caution but handled the bird feeder with surprising care.
After eating its fill, the bear eventually returned to all fours and wandered back into the surrounding forest.

Jones told the Dodo: “the bear seemed intent on not making a mess.’

The video was shared on social media

Jones shared the video online, and his friends were equally impressed.

The footage was shared across various internet platforms. Many were baffled, suggesting that the black bear looked like a man in disguise, while others described the scene as frightening and dangerous.

One person said: OMG – it looks so much like a person in a suit – BUT!!!! The opposite is the truth.

A second wrote: Wonder where this bear bought his shoes.

While a third commented: I swear bears look like humans in a suit when they stand like this!.

Someone else said: Interesting. at first I thought this was someone in rain gear, an umbrella on a pole in hand, wearing black rubber boots, it wasn’t until I saw moving.

Since the visit, the Joneses have decided to bring the bird feeder indoors when bears are most active. This ensures that the bear doesn’t get too close to their home.

Previously, animal experts addressed claims of a ‘man in disguise’ bear

Hangzhou Zoo dismissed claims that a standing sun bear was a person in disguise, calling it absurd. Image Credits: Twitter

A strange video of a Malayan sun bear standing on two legs led to wild claims that the animal was actually a man in a suit. The bear, named Angela, gained attention because of its saggy bottom fur and short, stumpy legs.

Many viewers expressed their confusion, suggesting that the bear was a ‘man in disguise.’ Others also believed they were being tricked by a man wearing a bear costume at the zoo.

Experts confirmed the bear’s saggy skin is natural, helping it escape predators by twisting in its fur. Image Credits: Twitter

One person said:It has human feet and the costume is pretty wrinkled at the back, which doesnt happen with a real bear. It isnt even a particularly good bear costume.

A second wrote: It is a HUMAN who identifies as a bear.

While a third commented: That bear has better posture than most humans lol.

However, the Hangzhou Zoo in China quickly responded, confirming that Angela is indeed a real bear. The zoo explained that such deception would not happen at a state-run facility. They dismissed the idea that a person could wear such a suit, especially in the summer heat.

Expert then confirms bear’s authenticity

Animal experts, including Dr. Ashleigh Marshall from Chester Zoo, weighed in on the situation.

Dr. Marshall explained that the folds in Angela’s back, assumed to be the result of an ill-fitting costume, are actually a natural defense mechanism. The loose skin allows the bear to “turn around in their skin” and fight back if grabbed.
