Description

When: September 13, 2019

Where: Burgers' Zoo Arnhem, the Netherlands

A nursing and happy Momma Bear, with her paws wrapped around her babies' heads

She wasn't *too* happy though - she'd sometimes snap at her cubs while nursing, as if they were using their teeth a bit too much.

Species: Sun Bear (Maleise beer)

Latin name: Helarctos Malayanus

Originates from the tropical forest habitats of Southeast Asia.

Current status: Vulnerable

Did you know:

…The Sun Bear is also known as the Honey Bear, thanks to its voracious appetite for honeycombs and honey.

…In Malaysia, it is said to be also called “Biroeang” or “Broeang”.
