The Malayan Sun Bear is native to the rain forests all over the Southeast Asian Peninsula. It is an endangered species, with the greatest remaining population believed to be in the country of Laos, where the rough terrain, lack of people and tons of trees help it to stay out of reach of human poachers. Sadly, out of all of the bears you can find in the entire world, the Malayan Sun Bear is the one we know the least about because of how rare they are.
Malayan Sun Bears are only about ½ the size of an American Black Bear, making them about 4-5 feet tall and weighing anywhere from 60 to 145 pounds as adults, according to Bears of the World.
They are definitely one of the smaller bears on the planet and they are adorable to see. They are recognizable immediately by the bright orange colored ‘U’ shaped marking right under their necks.
See the little critter in action in the video below, and SHARE if you think it’s the cutest thing in the world.
