Two years later they discovered they were raising a monster. And not a dog

In a bizarre incident, a family discovered that the animal they had been breeding for two years was not a pet dog but a wild bear of an endangered species.

A woman named Su Yun brought the animal to her home in the village of Yunnan in China, while she was on vacation in 2016 thinking that the pet was a Tibetan mastiff, but soon the family was surprised by the amounts of food consumed by this pet, these doubts began to grow as the animal continued to grow, and eventually began and soon reached 100 kilograms, and the shock when it began to walk on its hind legs.

Su Yun told China News, "The older he gets, the more he looks like a bear." Eventually, Su Yun contacted the authorities and they confirmed that her suspicions were correct. The bear was now taken to the Yunnan Wildlife Rescue Center.

Although the family kept the predator as a pet for a long time, staff feared it so much that they drugged it before transporting it.

This type of bear is very profitable on the black market and can easily be sold for thousands of dollars illegally. These animals have been used in Asian traditional medicine, as some animal glands contain a chemical called ursodeoxycholic acid used to treat medical problems such as liver disease.

In March 2018, a man from the same county brought a bear he found in a forest supposedly a stray dog.

Another woman, Wang from China, was raising a domestic fox, believing it to be a Japanese spitz. After nurturing him for months, she began to find his behavior strange, refusing to eat dog food and never barking.

She told local media at the time: "The fur became thicker when he was three months old. His face became pointed and his tail grew taller than the average dog."
