Junjun the Bear Cub Captivates Shanghai Zoo Visitors

Junjun, an 11-month-old bear cub at a Shanghai zoo, has become a social media sensation and a crowd favorite due to his playful antics and fluffy appearance. Weighing over 35 kg and standing at one meter tall, he entertains visitors with games involving his favorite toys, like a tyre, and engages in spirited races with his keepers. Even on quiet December weekdays, crowds gather to catch a glimpse of Junjun, who has drawn comparisons to Duffy, the Disney teddy bear character. His keeper, Yang Junjie, notes that Junjun's lively behavior has unexpectedly attracted significant attention online. Born at the zoo and hand-reared, Junjun enjoys a diet of beef and honey-apples, contributing to his playful demeanor. The bear's charm continues to captivate audiences, making him a breakout star in the zoo.
