SHANGHAI: Adoring masses are flocking to a park in Shanghai to see Junjun, a bear cub only 11 months old, as he frolics in his wall playing with toys, such as a favorite rubber, or splashing in a water bowl.
The brown bear, who measures 1m tall and weighs more than 35 kg, captivates fans who yell at his lively resemblance to a puppy and applaud his soft fur coat.
A crowd gathers at the outside wall where Junjun encounters his doting government every two weeks on a cold week in December, when the zoo’s business hub is largely deserted.
” His small actions are really interesting. Very pretty, so pretty that it can’t get cuter”, said one guest, surnamed Lin.
