The video of a bear riding in a car and tooting into a vuvuzela horrifies many.
At the moment there are more requests like these:
After Russia's victory against Saudi Arabia, there was supposedly a motorcade in which a bear rode along in a car. It also looked like the bear was also playing the trumpet, which makes me a little doubtful that this is a real bear. Many people immediately start complaining about the Russians. Do you know more? Thank you and best regards
It's about this video, which can currently be found on Twitter and YouTube:
Just been sent this, appears to be a bear in a jeep, blowing a vuvuzela (?) and then giving a quenelle salute. And told it's happening somewhere in Moscow. pic.twitter.com/Tg0Hj0taSo

You can see a motorcade. There is actually a bear in one of the cars and a man next to him. The animal holds a trumpet in its paw and the mouthpiece in its mouth. The man later takes the trumpet from the bear and lets him perform other tricks.
Is this actually a real bear?
Yes. The video is real and the bear is real too.
As the tz and Hamburger Abendblatt report, this scene actually happened in Russia.
After the World Cup opening win with 5-0 against Saudi Arabia there was a huge celebration. Numerous fans attended the motorcade and the video was taken of the brown bear sitting in one of the cars and tooting into a vuvuzela.
Just a few weeks ago, a similar case attracted attention when a bear handed the ball to the referee during a Russian third division game and fired up the fans:

These incidents naturally caused discussions online. Many people speak out against the display of animals.
Result:
The video of the bear in the car “playing” the trumpet is real.
After the opening World Cup victory, this scene was filmed during a motorcade.
