Indian Rhinoceros The sun bear (also known as Malayan sun bear) is an arboreal member of the bear family and is native to the forests of Southeast Asia, ranging across it from Myanmar to Indonesia and Thailand to Borneo. The sun bear belongs to the subfamily Ursinae in the family Ursidae, order Carnivora and it is classified as Ursus malayanus. It is the smallest of the bear family. The population of sun bear is declining very fast as their habitats give way to agriculture, urbanisation and other activities of man that threaten their existence. Based on this, their extinction looms around the next several decades. Just like other Asian bears, sun bears are poached for their bladders and other body parts of value. Sun bears, like other species of bear, have a keen sense of smell that is seven times more powerful than that of dogs. They also have an excellent memory that helps them to range to and from an abundant food location year after year. Bear attacks are extremely rare but they may do when humans provoke them to respond defensively. • Sun Bear
