Sun Bears UK

It's been a while but we will soon be coming out of hibernation (not that sun bears hibernate). If you would like to help and have any photos or fun facts that we could share please direct message us. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered

It's amazing how quickly a video of standing bear can go viral. The picture above was chosen because it shows the ruffles in the bears fur that have had so much attention.

A big thankyou to @BBCOxford for having us on their afternoon show with Alice Hopkins. The more exposure sun bears can get the better. If you want to have a listen go to bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…, (roughly at 2:42).

Could you open a coconut with just your hands and teeth? Sun bears are amazingly strong, being able to tear open trees and nuts to get to their food. Thanks Samantha Barnes at Project Borneo for the cool photo. #sunbearsneedyou #bears #sunbear #wildlife #nature #coconut

I wonder if there are any figs up here? #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered #fruit

The areas in red on this map show where the sun bears used live but are now #extinct and their ranges are only getting smaller every year. iucnredlist.org/species/9760/1… #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered #wildlife

If the human tongue was the same as a sun bears you would be able to lick your belly button. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered #wildlife #animalfacts

Happy Mothers Day 💐 #sunbearsneedyou #mothersday #bears #cub #endangered

It's snow weather for #sunbears here in the UK. We can't wait to visit the @BSBCC_SunBear again in the future and add some more bears to our collection. #sunbearsneedyou #snow #bears #endangered

While sun bears often look relaxed and happy in photos it is important to remember that their numbers are decreasing and they need our help urgently. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered #wildlife

The horseshoe mark on the sun bears chest is as unique each of us. Just like their personalities, no two marks are alike. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #sunbearsunday #endangered #wildlife

Happy New Year We hope the sun bears and all of you have a great 2023. Hopefully the bears will find plenty of honey. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #endangered #2023 #newyear

Grizzly and Sun Bear (Malayan) from the 1870 book Warne's Picture Natural History Animals. One of the more realistic sketches we have seen from that era. #sunbearsneedyou #sunbears #bears #grizzlybear #endangered #wildlife

While many brown bears will be starting to hibernate the sun bear will still be as active as usual. They do not need to hibernate because of the food supplied by their hot rainforest home. Brown bear pic by M. Boswell flic.kr/p/j3tjgJ (CC BY 2.0) #sunbears #brownbears

Here are the photo and video highlights of mine and Mr Bourbon’s trip to the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre in Sandakan. I got to spend nearly two days there, and it’s the greatest place on earth! #BSBCC #マレーグマ #sunbear @BSBCC_SunBear @BSBCC_Japan
