The fact that it’s a real bear is so scary because of how human it looks. Like if I saw one of them running towards me with legs like THAT then I would just cease to exist

Now I can buy into the conspiracy that all sun bears are just actually men in bear costumes and they tricked biologists into thinking it’s a real species.
Well to be fair it's literally human nature to try and tell what's human and what's not, easily standing upright use of "hands" for multiple purposes and even easily seen skin folds are things we've learned to recognize as human both evolutionarily and in day to day life.
I used to work at the Minnesota Zoo, and we had a sun bear back in the day, and I can confirm that these creatures are the original "uncanny valley." They are SO WEIRD and are always acting like a brain-damaged person in a suit. I don't think I will ever understand them, but I do enjoy them.

Imagine it from the bears perspective. He might be wondering if the creatures staring at him from outside his enclosure are just sunbears wearing human suits.
I love the fact that people are now starting to realize just how strange looking sun bears are. God really pulled an elaborate prank when he dropped those guys.
@@seva7500 all i said was that more people are starting to realize. Never said it was because of charlie…don’t know where you’re getting that part from but ok
Fun fact! Sun bears aren't the smallest, it's actually the spectacled bear (the only south American bear!!). They aren't as freaky looking, but they are very very cute in an awkward way bc of the "spectacles"
Ironically, despite Spectacled Bears being the smallest living species of bear, they belong to a lineage that included the largest bears that ever lived. They're the only modern representative of the subfamily Tremarctinae, and during the last ice age it included the North American Giant Short-Faced Bear, 'Arctodus simus', the males of which could stand 11ft tall on their hindlegs and weigh over 2000lbs. They're widely considered the largest Carnivoran Mammal to have ever lived.
When he mentioned people dressing up as animals as a full time job I just instantly imagined a wide variety of creatures standing in line at a computer clocking out for the day one at a time 😂
After watching this, all of a sudden I have the strong desire to order a convincing bear costume online, invite my parents over to my apartment, put it on, and see how long it takes for them to realize it's actually me inside it. Ideal for a good Halloween prank.
your comment makes me want to buy a convincing bigfoot costume. remember though stay on your property because that dudes right somebody very well could shoot you. me theyll just take grainy pictures and videos lol
Actually knowing about zoology, this whole situation has been really funny to me. Sun bears are just strange, mostly because they’re the most Basel species of bear alive today along with its close relatives, the spectacled bear the sloth bear. Both are the only bears that regularly eat insects, with the sloth bear’s diet being almost exclusively insects. They are the closest living group to the famous short faced cave bear from the ice age, which makes they’re diet and size all the weirder.
@@letsreadtextbook1687Basal means "primitive." For example, the gibbon apes. They are the most primitive of the apes, looking more like their prehistoric ancestors than chimps and gorillas do.
As someone from Malaysia, seeing people react and thinking the Malayan sun bear is a fake creature is pretty hilarious 😂 but yeah they’re weird cool lil dudes
There’s a lot of cool and unique animals people have no idea even exist including the sun bear and I just love people’s reaction when finding out they exist lol
It's great, I love that there's a wild animal which looks SO silly that when people first see it, their gut instinct is often "Something's up here, there's no way that's a real animal!"
Sunbears are just one of the really weird bear species, and that's why I love them. They look so absurd standing up, but walking around normal theyre a cute little bear.
I discovered the miracle that is the sun bear about three years ago, and my favorite thing to do is to show people a picture of the creature and watch as they try and comprehend the fact that the bear is in fact a real animal. God bless the sun bear.
Saw these bears when I went to the Great Wall of China in 2014. They’re legit and kinda sad. They have them all in pits and people toss food at them from the walls. The bears know how to wave and act cute to get treats from people.
That loose skin thing is something in all bears I believe. It's a defense for bites and slashes from other animals. Since the skin is loose it can move with incoming attacks and minimize skin damage.
I saw this headline yesterday and immediately knew it was talking about a sun bear before reading the story. The whole point of a zoo is to introduce people to different kinds of animals. If the people starting these conspiracy theories insist on not going outside, they could at the very least watch a nature documentary every now and then.
no seriously, if these ppl just looked up a nature video of a sun bear, they’d know these bears are biological wonders of the world, these dudes literally fight off tigers to protect themselves so
Definitely does seem like it could be a human in a suit when it’s upright, but when it drops to all fours there’s definitely no way that isn’t an animal I remember reading a post some time ago about how weird sun bears are. They’re just uncanny looking creatures. I’m surprised there hasn’t been any viral conspiracy theories about it before.
This just reminded me of a fairly old Korean web manga about a financially struggling zoo employing desperate people to wear animal suits and pretend to be the animals, it was pretty emotional and warming. I would recommend reading it if you can find it somehow...
It's called Secret Zoo! (Idk the Korean title though.) Weirdly enough I first learned about it when saw a clip of the movie on RUclips shorts like 2 days before this sun bear news came out.
In terms of animals forsaken by evolution, the Nautilus is a personal favorite of mine. It has to swim backwards by shooting jets of water out of its mouth, meaning it can never see where it is going.
My suggestion always was that the bigfoot is just a bear that stepped on a bear trap and was forced to walk on his hind legs, this and him becoming thinner and thinner over time because he was not so effective at hunting anymore made the bear look so odd shaped that people didnt even recognize him as a bear but as a monster
There's a comment here actually that talked about an actual known bear that did get injured, had to walk on his hind legs and was apparently mistaken as the Sasquatch. He was called Pedals, and was killed by a hunter during a New Jersey sanctioned bow and arrow hunt.
I cant believe people are only just becoming aware of sun bears. Theyre aboreal so theyre slightly monkey-shaped in order to be able to climb trees. Theyre very smart, charismatic, cute and can solve puzzles!
When I was young, I wanted a unique animal to be my favorite animal, so I googled all bear species and chose the Sun Bear bc that guy looks wild. Glad my babies are getting some attention
8:12 I don’t think Charlie understands just how difficult it would be to convincingly fake a giraffe. You would either need MULTIPLE people in a suit with great teamwork and coordination, or you would need the most advanced animatronic the world has ever seen.
Having loose skin is actually a pretty common evolutionary trait for carnivorous mammals. Honey Badgers, cats, dogs, bears and plenty of other mammals have loose skin because it makes it harder for a predator to predate you if you can flip around in his jaws and bite his face.
@@toomanyaccounts If you have a pet such as a dog or cat, you can literally test this by pulling on their skin, not enough to hurt them but just enough to observe their properties, compared to our human skin, which isn't loose.
@@The_War_Pug i had a dog for 10 years before I had to say goodbye due to his old age causing him mental and physical deterioration. you couldn't pull his skin except at the scruff.
This is really funny. Sun Bears have always been a favorite animal of mine because they look like they don't belong in their body. They walk funny, they sit funny. They have really weird tongues like...wow. I remember in a documentary I watched when I was like 13 they were the cutest thing because they look like children who were reincarnated into a new species of animal. And that animal is the sun bear. Such a silly little animal. They're a gem.
I will never forget the day 5000 years ago in which I met the Humabear. In when he stood exactly like a human, eventually that bear stood so high and reached the pinnacle of evolution, and the sun realized this organism as a threat. He cast a spell upon it and made it devolve and eventually, it became a sun bear to honor the sun for sparing its life. A truly inspirational day for humanity😢😭
A lot of times the bones in bear paws are mistaken for a human hand and people out hiking or whatever usually call law enforcement thinking they’ve found human remains.
This is the exact journey I went on- minus the hagfish- when I saw the twitter post of that article, absolutely wild that these are real creatures and I once again learned the age old adage: you can’t judge a bear by its ass folds 😌
Fun fact Sun bears are highly aggressive as they continously fight tigers. Typically the most severe bear attacks is because of the sun bear. They have the same response as Buffalo since they are hunted and will just keep going until they're sure you're down
I've been to a sunbear sanctuary, they are really small and friendly I shook ones paw (stupidly I got told not to but oh well) I thought that was fake when it was a frozen frame but as soon as you see it get down you can tell its defo real. Poor bear getting roasted by moist lol
"Huge bear enjoyer" sounds like how someone would describe themselves right before getting charged with bestiality. "I'm just a huge goat enjoyer guys."
@@hastur-thekinginyellow8115If this your way of thinking sure but believe it or not, there are people who just are invested in animals and cares about them. I don't know why you picture this comment in that way??
@@nicoleflores2054 So uh, it was a joke that most definitely did not need that much thought put into it. But hey, you do you buddy. Go be all the you you can be.
It’s bizarre how one of nature’s creations is so aware of how weird other animals are. Evolution couldn’t anticipate ‘yo sun bears are weird af’ or ‘why tf is our habitat a sphere?’
Looking at the Hagfish and seeing how it's perfect in it's environment to such a degree that it doesn't need to evolve, automatically reminds me of bloodborne when you defeat the moon presence. You transcend human form and then transforms in a sluggish creature very similar to the Hagfish.
Sun, Human, Bear. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace kept balance between the Bear Tribes, Human Kingdom and Sun Nation. But that all changed when the Alien Nursery Caretakers attacked.
love the fact that they have no idea how to fight so they just attack the face of what ever is threatening them until they fell its no longer a threat. but on another note its horrifying because it often just mauls said threat until it dies.
One side note is that zoos in China have dabbled in making fake animals. Not sure if it is the same zoo, but one zoo did try to make a "lion" which was actually a golden retriever. Unfortunately the lions "roars" were just barks but they did try
@2:36 "And I think it's pretty obvious that this is just a man in a bear costume." I actually spit out my drink at the confidence Charlie had while stating this, holy s***
I like the idea that somebody at the zoo failed to keep the bear alive, so to avoid suspicion they quit and dressed up as the bear for a while afterwards.
As soon as I saw the sun bear I knew it was a fire video. Those things could be either humans in costumes or a really messed up bear and both of those explanations make the same amount of sense when you look at these creatures.
I live in that city and have been to that zoo and seen the bears. They look weird standing up but it is just a bear, no tricks! It's just waiting for the crowds to feed it, no one really stops that happening there.
One reason they might put a person in a costume is money. It probably costs a lot to take care of the bear, feed it, and employ people to keep the cage clean and functional. You put a man in a bear suit in there and you are saving a lot of money in the long run.
If the bear is the size of a large dog, I highly doubt that feeding it is particularly expensive. Practically every other zoo on Earth manages to feed larger animals than that, so the idea that they would go through the hassle of creating a fake bear when they can just get a real one like everyone else is just absurd.
Honestly sun bears have always looked like a human in a bear costume.

Very humane, I believe he is up there mercy euthanasia, the spca
@@powercathat271bruh… the comment made a joke 😂 wdym
@@powercathat271 it’s called a joke you cornball
let’s not forget charlie’s first instinct on checking if it was real or not was to investigate it’s ass
Having loose skin is actually a pretty common evolutionary trait for carnivorous mammals. Honey Badgers, cats, dogs, bears and plenty of other mammals have loose skin because it makes it harder for a predator to predate you if you can flip around in his jaws and bite his face.
So your telling me internet "carnivores" and fat people (im not fatphobic) = best evolutionary traits
its a failure when the carnivore grabs the scruff. when grabbed the animal can do nothing
@@mightyx5441well no that's literally the opposite, they'd tear like a ballon. The rolls have to be empty; you want *loose* skin
@@toomanyaccounts If you have a pet such as a dog or cat, you can literally test this by pulling on their skin, not enough to hurt them but just enough to observe their properties, compared to our human skin, which isn't loose.
@@The_War_Pug i had a dog for 10 years before I had to say goodbye due to his old age causing him mental and physical deterioration. you couldn't pull his skin except at the scruff.
Sunbears with mange/malnutrition have been the cause of loads of cryptid sightings througout the years, they just look weird
This is really funny. Sun Bears have always been a favorite animal of mine because they look like they don't belong in their body. They walk funny, they sit funny. They have really weird tongues like...wow.
I remember in a documentary I watched when I was like 13 they were the cutest thing because they look like children who were reincarnated into a new species of animal. And that animal is the sun bear. Such a silly little animal. They're a gem.
Nice salazzle with wings
That loose ass skin is a legit evolutionary gem, honey badgers use it to defend from enemy players trynna sneak attack
Same😊🙌💖 they're perfect lil awkward babies. And sloth bears too! So precious💜
Imagine someone getting mauled by this bear because they thought it was a human and tried to take off its head.
The sun bear doesn’t really attack humans. It’s small and mostly insectivorous.
Sun bears deadass look like this in the wild. They look like awkward humans. Sunbears are just literal giant teddy bears.
As someone studying Marine Biology, I enjoyed the Hagfish talk. One of my all time favourites!
There are many benefits to being a marine biologist
“Jamie pull up the video of a sun bear fighting a polar bear”
"You telling me there is an evolutionary purpose to all these ass folds?"
I love Charlie 😂
I will never forget the day 5000 years ago in which I met the Humabear. In when he stood exactly like a human, eventually that bear stood so high and reached the pinnacle of evolution, and the sun realized this organism as a threat. He cast a spell upon it and made it devolve and eventually, it became a sun bear to honor the sun for sparing its life. A truly inspirational day for humanity😢😭
You can make a religion out of this.
No don't
No wonder people think the bear is fake, some time ago they put a very fluffy dog in a cage and called it a lion…
A lot of times the bones in bear paws are mistaken for a human hand and people out hiking or whatever usually call law enforcement thinking they’ve found human remains.
I love the part where the Bear said “it’s Bearing time” and proceeded to Bear all over the place. Truly inspiring and motivational stuff.
😐
Truly side splitting🤣🥵🥵🥵😭
As soon as you said it was a sun bear, I knew it was just a funny looking bear 😆 Sun bears have always been delightfully weird
Charlie’s awakening to Sun Bears is quite beautiful.
Last night as soon as my dad mentioned "bear costumes", I asked him if it was a Sun Bear 🤣🤣 they always look absolutely ridiculous
This is the exact journey I went on- minus the hagfish- when I saw the twitter post of that article, absolutely wild that these are real creatures and I once again learned the age old adage: you can’t judge a bear by its ass folds 😌
Fun fact Sun bears are highly aggressive as they continously fight tigers. Typically the most severe bear attacks is because of the sun bear. They have the same response as Buffalo since they are hunted and will just keep going until they're sure you're down
For as goofy as these guys look, I can only respect that they'll tango with a tiger like they do.
I love sun bears and can confirm, they are just weird like that
6:00 shadow leviathan???
Casual Geographic has described Sun Bears as "Dude in a Party City bear costume", so I'd say that's an actual bear.
I've been to a sunbear sanctuary, they are really small and friendly I shook ones paw (stupidly I got told not to but oh well) I thought that was fake when it was a frozen frame but as soon as you see it get down you can tell its defo real. Poor bear getting roasted by moist lol
You're luck you didn't get eaten alive. BEARS ARE NOT PETS
@lickbigasshole I'll thank mohhamed for that one then brother
@@STDynamite8008 allah akbar
Love how Charlie's hypothetical immediately goes to a dystopian future
Charlie always explains from the top to bottom what a Hagfish is when someone asks what it is or if he wants to compare it to something
As a huge bear enjoyer, after seeing him step down from the ledge I was like yeah definitely a real bear. They’re just goofy lookin guys!
"Huge bear enjoyer" sounds like how someone would describe themselves right before getting charged with bestiality.
"I'm just a huge goat enjoyer guys."
@@hastur-thekinginyellow8115If this your way of thinking sure but believe it or not, there are people who just are invested in animals and cares about them.
I don't know why you picture this comment in that way??
@@nicoleflores2054 So uh, it was a joke that most definitely did not need that much thought put into it. But hey, you do you buddy. Go be all the you you can be.
@@PondScummer ^This guy gets it.
@@hastur-thekinginyellow8115then sorry if I didn't made your day by understanding your subtle joke, my bad
7:01 i mean, have you seen the guy that bought a whole dog costume?
the amount of people who just have never seen a sunbear before is wild to me. i thought everyone knew that these guys looked like this
Honestly, after the whole "guy spending thousands to get a hyper-realistic dog costume" thing, I don't even know what to think.
It’s bizarre how one of nature’s creations is so aware of how weird other animals are. Evolution couldn’t anticipate ‘yo sun bears are weird af’ or ‘why tf is our habitat a sphere?’
Sun bears have been described as 'looking like a man in a bear costume' a lot in the past, so I am very amused.
I loved when the bear said “it’s bearing time” and then beared all over the bad guys
I completely thought Charlie was trolling at first but no, I guess it actually is a sunbear
8:59 "You can't trust anyone, not even bears."
Especially bears, because they'll eat you.
In all reality as soon as that bear went from standing to all fours i knew immediately it was an actual bear.
Damn, that bear got a better posture than most people.
Looking at the Hagfish and seeing how it's perfect in it's environment to such a degree that it doesn't need to evolve, automatically reminds me of bloodborne when you defeat the moon presence. You transcend human form and then transforms in a sluggish creature very similar to the Hagfish.
The moment I started hearing Charlie's idea on why they might want to fake a bear I was like "No no... let him cook."
Sun, Human, Bear. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace kept balance between the Bear Tribes, Human Kingdom and Sun Nation. But that all changed when the Alien Nursery Caretakers attacked.
love the fact that they have no idea how to fight so they just attack the face of what ever is threatening them until they fell its no longer a threat. but on another note its horrifying because it often just mauls said threat until it dies.
One side note is that zoos in China have dabbled in making fake animals. Not sure if it is the same zoo, but one zoo did try to make a "lion" which was actually a golden retriever. Unfortunately the lions "roars" were just barks but they did try
@2:36 "And I think it's pretty obvious that this is just a man in a bear costume."
I actually spit out my drink at the confidence Charlie had while stating this, holy s***
I like the idea that somebody at the zoo failed to keep the bear alive, so to avoid suspicion they quit and dressed up as the bear for a while afterwards.
As soon as I saw the sun bear I knew it was a fire video. Those things could be either humans in costumes or a really messed up bear and both of those explanations make the same amount of sense when you look at these creatures.
I live in that city and have been to that zoo and seen the bears. They look weird standing up but it is just a bear, no tricks! It's just waiting for the crowds to feed it, no one really stops that happening there.
One reason they might put a person in a costume is money. It probably costs a lot to take care of the bear, feed it, and employ people to keep the cage clean and functional. You put a man in a bear suit in there and you are saving a lot of money in the long run.
If the bear is the size of a large dog, I highly doubt that feeding it is particularly expensive. Practically every other zoo on Earth manages to feed larger animals than that, so the idea that they would go through the hassle of creating a fake bear when they can just get a real one like everyone else is just absurd.
0:19 jokes on you I take cold showers
7:19 great he promoted furry employment 😂😂😅😅😅😂😅😂
Woman enters zoo pointing at the bear: “THAT BEAR IS NOT REAL!”
Rest of the people at the zoo: Turns and stares at the bear. 0_0
Charlie’s just out here talking about the most random things to touch the internet and I’m here for it.

Why is your comment exactly the same as @antonioargento1327
when charlie puts his magical wand of entertainment into the holes we have within us its so good
Um
Tell me more
