The sun bear is the smallest bear, with a body length of 48 to 60 inches. The sun bear prefers rainforests. It is believed to sleep in trees. The sun bear is not a big meat-eater. The sun bear often uses its long tongue(舌头) for eating termites(白蚁).
The name sun bear comes from the pale circle(白色的圈) on its chest(胸膛). It has short, black fur with a golden or white horseshoe(马掌) shape on its chest. It is also known as "honey bear" because of its love for sweet food.
With only 600 to 1,000 left in the wild in the rainforests of South-east Asia, it is in danger.
People are cutting down trees and using the land for farming. So the rainforests where the sun bear lives are becoming smaller and smaller. The sun bear is killed because its meat is delicious and parts of its body can be made into traditional medicine. People also like to keep young sun bears as pets and kill the mother bears. So the sun bear needs our help.
