The bear is extraordinarily gifted at doing pull-ups

From where I stand, this video looks suspiciously similar to a trailer for a movie starring Van Damme or some other actor who often plays the part of a guy undergoing extensive training just so he can teach the bad guys a thing or two about respect.

Granted, Van Damme never got a treat after doing a set of pull-ups, yet this red panda bear is so annoyingly cute that few could resist the opportunity of giving it the occasional snack.

The red panda featured in this video is currently living at the Panda World Reserve in Fuhzou, China.

The staff at this sanctuary say that visitors quite enjoy seeing the red panda bears perform such tricks, and that the animals are not in any way abused.

Still, some might disagree, and argue that red pandas should not be made to behave in unnatural ways just to entertain a bunch of tourists.
