A recruitment advertisement from Luohe Wildlife Zoo in Luohe city, Henan province, China is going viral after it seeks performers to wear black bear costumes. Multiple outlets report the zoo posted the job listing on June 13 and offered an annual salary of 100,000 yuan (about US$15,000). The role includes wearing a black bear costume, roaming within the zoo, and interacting with visitors. The South China Morning Post adds that the ad includes a strict silence clause, though details of its exact terms are not clearly established in the available reporting. NDTV notes that social media users respond quickly to the listing and raise concerns about children potentially forming misconceptions about real wild animals. Some of the online reaction focuses on the humorous framing of the job and public uncertainty about the arrangement and conditions attached to the costume performer role. It remains unclear from the reports how the costume is supplied or whether additional requirements, such as safety or child-focused guidance, are part of the contract. The story continues to circulate online as people debate the implications of a zoo staff role that involves animal impersonation.
