A bear from a Chinese zoo had a moment of glory

A black bear from a Chinese zoo made visitors laugh - he repeated the movements of a fashionable dance that a tourist showed him. A video with a funny bear went viral online - however, many were skeptical about it.

In the video, a black bear from a Chinese zoo imitates a tourist who performed a trendy dance from TikTok called “Flower Handshake” in front of him. Popular in China, the dance involves joining the wrists and moving the arms in a circular motion above the head. The guy started dancing right in front of the bear enclosure. While the other two bears didn't seem to understand, one of them danced back, repeating the moves.

While many were impressed by the black bear's intricate dance moves, some are skeptical about the dance - and think it was a hoax. Not long ago, an incident occurred at the Hangzhou Zoo: the zoo was accused of having people dressed in bear costumes instead of bears in the enclosure. However, these judgments were later refuted. It seems that bears are indeed evolving and are gradually acquiring behavior patterns similar to those of humans.

After the bear videos gained popularity online, the zoo saw a 30 percent increase in daily visitors. Many people came to make sure that the bears in the zoo were real. After this dance video, zoo staff are expecting another influx of visitors!
