A Chinese villager reportedly raised an endangered black bear at home believing it was a dog.

Mr Yang, from southern China's Yunnan Province, claimed he found the animal in the forest in April, 2015, and thought it was an ordinary black puppy, reported Chinese media. 

It's said six months later, Mr Yang's father told him the animal, nicknamed Han Han, might be a bear because it started to show bear-like traits.

...

Han Han, around three years old now, weights 88lbs and stands 5ft6in tall. It's a female bear. 

The Forest Police of Yongsheng County learnt about the incident after seeing pictures of Mr Yang's bear on social media.

They immediately went to Mr Yang's home for investigation.

The animals was confirmed to be an Asiatic Black Bear, which is a protected animals in China. It's also an endangered animal species widely traded by illegal smugglers in Asia for their body parts.

A statement from the Forest Police of Yongsheng County said officers from the Forestry Bureau of Lijiang went to Mr Yang's home on March 6 to confiscate the bear.

I think he got the idea when he took it out for a walk and it tried to eat him.

Clueless people. Even I, as a non-bear-owner and having never seen an "Asiatic Black Bear", could recognize that as a bear from a couple of blurry photos...

Wonder how he managed to get the cub away from its mother?

That’s kinda like the commercial with the woman opening the back sliding door and getting her ‘kitty’ to come in. She ends up with a skunk in her bed and realizes she needs glasses.

I can see mistaking a young bear for a dog from a distance, but how in hell could anyone continue to confuse one for the other after getting close and actually touching it? And once it grew up? This guy is either lying, blind, or a moron.

Our neighbors had a cockapoo dog. They took the dog camping. When they went to Yellowstone, sure enough, a woman thought they had a bear on a leash.
