Itam the Sun Bear

After a whole day of heavy rain and floods in Sandakan yesterday, the team was a bit worried about Itam as she decided she wanted to sleep in the forest last night. The fence reading was dangerously low due to the water levels rising quite rapidly, flooding our Forest enclosure 2.

 

Her keepers came back at night to check up on her but to no avail. She is a hide and seek champion! There were signs of her coming back to her cage and eating her bananas so we knew that she was still in her enclosure safe and well fed.

 

Today while doing some enclosure maintenance, Itam decided to show her face! Maybe she knew her caretakers were worried so she peeked at them from between the tall ginger leaves, gave a little sniff and went on her way again. You do you Itam😅
