Junjun, an 11-month-old brown bear cub, has become a star attraction at a zoo in Shanghai, China. He stands about 1 meter tall and weighs over 35 kg. Visitors are enchanted by his playful behavior, whether he is splashing in a water trough or playing with his favorite toy, a tire. Even on quiet weekdays, visitors come to see him every two days, drawn by his fluffy fur and lively antics, which have earned him comparisons to a playful puppy. His charm has also captivated social media, where videos and photos of him have gone viral. Many have commented on his resemblance to Duffy, a beloved Disney teddy bear.

Junjun is the first cub born to his parents at the zoo and was hand-raised by keepers. They gave him toys and treats like beef, apples, and honey to keep him happy and healthy. His energetic personality is a delight to visitors, who love watching him run, play, and interact with his keepers. Yang Junjie, his caretaker, shared that Junjun can play all day, often chasing his keepers or stopping to let them catch up before running again. Although his keeper did not realize it at first, Junjun’s playful charm has made him an online sensation and a beloved figure at the zoo.
