So get this, a zoo in China had a real "paws-up" moment when a video of their Malaysian sun bear, Angela, standing upright like a human went viral. The Hangzhou Zoo had some fun with it, putting out a playful statement from Angela herself, going, "Hey, I'm just being me, not trying to pull off a 'Planet of the Apes' stint here!"

Everyone's buzzing about this bear's skinny legs and fur folds, which make it look like someone's pulling a prank in a bear costume. The Hangzhou Daily picked up the story, and online folks started to wonder if they'd stumbled onto some weird bear-human hybrid.

The zookeepers had to set the record straight - these sun bears are smaller than other bear bros, and they look a bit different, but they're 100% bear, no human involvement.

Just to hammer home the point, officials added that any human trying to chill in a bear suit in 100-degree weather would pass out faster than you can say 'bearbecue'.

The zoo's playing it cool and inviting reporters to meet Angela, to confirm that she's all bear.

Fun fact - sun bears are the smallest bears on the planet, around the size of a big dog. When they're standing, they're only about 50 inches tall. Compared to a 9-foot grizzly, it's like they're the Danny DeVito of the bear world! (Source)

๐Ÿš’ NYC Firefighters' Epic High-Rise Rescue: Real Life Superheroes!

Alright, so some New York City firefighters went full action-hero mode, saving two women from a burning building by rappelling down the side like it's no big deal. One of these ladies was actually hanging by her fingertips from her window, but our fire-heroes swung in just in time to get her to safety.

The rescue operation, dubbed as 'roof rope rescue', was a well-coordinated ballet involving four firefighters: Belvon Koranteng, Arthur Podgorski, Darren Harsch, and Adam Nordenschild. Despite the chaos of the fire, residents reported that the team managed to control the situation super fast. The building, on East 52nd Street, caught fire due to a pesky lithium-ion battery, and the residents didn't even hear any smoke alarms. Yet, thanks to these real-life superheroes, everyone's safe and sound. (Source)

๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ• Stranded Sailor and His Furry Mate Survive Two Months Adrift in Pacific!

Source: odditycentral

Here's a tale straight out of a movie: Tim Shaddock, an Aussie sailor, and Bella, his four-legged buddy, managed to survive two whole months floating around the Pacific Ocean. They left Mexico hoping for a lovely sailing trip to French Polynesia, but things went haywire when a storm hit, wrecking their catamaran and cutting off all communications. Tim and Bella had no choice but to live off raw fish and rainwater, taking shelter under a canopy as they drifted.

Tim, a hardcore sailing enthusiast, spent his time fixing what he could on the boat and taking the occasional dip, while Bella kept him company. After three months of seeing nada but ocean, they finally spotted a helicopter from a tuna boat. The pilot was kind enough to drop them a drink, and then came back with a speedboat for the rescue. Bella, the dog who Tim picked up during his travels in Mexico, was a hit with the rescuers and will be adopted by one of them as Tim heads back to his family in Australia. All in all, a wild ride with a happy ending! ๐Ÿš๐Ÿพ (Source)

Answer to the brain teaser

Given that Alex holds the 9th position from the top, it means there are 8 students above him. Also, he's placed 38th from the bottom, indicating 37 students fall below him. To calculate the total student count, you add the students above Alex, Alex himself, and the students below him, which comes out as 8 + 1 (Alex) + 37, totaling 46 students.
