The sun
bear gets it name from the tan cresent shape on its
chest. It is the smallest living bear species in the
world. The males are somewhat larger than the females.
Its coat is very short and dense. Its rounded ears set
low on its head and are very small. like all bears,
they are plantigrade, meaning they walk around on their
entire foot like a human. Its tongue is extremely long,
which assists the bear in eating termites and other
insects. Like all bears, its tail is very short and
stubby.
