I had never heard of this kind of bear until about four or five years ago while traveling overseas. At the Singapore Zoo, we got to see one of these little guys. Sun bears are the smallest of all the bear species. My daughter fell in love with the little bears. But now I have learned that these small bears are threatened with extinction in the wild. There is still much that scientists need to learn about these bears, but they feel sure that the sun bear is threatened. These bears are found in Southeast Asia. The biggest threats to the sun bear are habitat loss and commercial hunting.
