Details
 The Malayan sun bear, which can be found in Southeast Asia, is the smallest bear. They have short muzzles, small ears, short black hair, and a white U-shaped spot on their chest which looks like the sun. The Malayan sun bears do not hibernate. They use their claws to dig holes in trees then use their 25 cm long tongue to feed on pupae and honey.
