:) As always, I am impressed (ha!) with the high level of expertise
exhibited here in wrecked.boats

The bear is real and alive, not stuffed. If memory serves, it is an
Asiatic black bear. Good-looking critters.

Sorry my humor was not absorbed. I can see that the rocks are very very
obviously fake, and even not even a good quality of imitation rocks. I
thought I would make a joke that the rocks were real, but the bear was a
fake. Actually, the rump looks like a spliced on chimp rump. Maybe they
had some spare "parts" at the zoo that day.

Who's to say? Maybe they're both fakes. And that wood doesn't look all
that real, either. ;-)

It is really simple to assess the facts after the event, and when someone
else was operating the vessel. Even people who get seasick sitting in a
bathtub can get it right.

Sometimes.

Looks just like the LA zoo Black Bear enclosure.
