Wish my zoo had a liquor license

Yep. Indigenous to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It has a 10-inch tongue. And I have no idea why I thought that was relevant.

Yup, sure is. Made headlines in China (I think) not too long ago when someone falsely claimed it was a zoo employee in a bear costume. Turns out the bad fitting “costume” was just the bear’s own skin, lol.

Yep, been one of my daughter's favorite animals since she was a baby. Her apartment is littered with plush ones.

Is it related to the bow-legged bear?
