| Introdescription | The Sun Bear (''Ursus malayanus''), someti … The Sun Bear (''Ursus malayanus''), sometimes known as the Honey Bear, is a bear found primarily in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. Adult Sun Bears have almost no predators except humans, due to their fierce reputation and formidable teeth. Occasionally, they may be overwhelmed by tigers, or large reticulated pythons. The recent decline in the Sun Bear population can be largely attributed to the hunting of "nuisance bears" that destroy crops and widespread poaching driven by the market for their fur and for their bile, which is used in Chinese medicine. Sometimes, Sun Bears are captured or bred to be domestic pets. The IUCN reclassified the Sun Bear from "data deficient" to "vulnerable" status in 2007. (Source:Wikipedia)erable" status in 2007.
