Sun bears in the wild are opportunistic omnivores

Sun bears in the wild are opportunistic omnivores that live in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. They use their long claws and tongues to find and eat a variety of foods, such as fruits, insects, honey, and small animals. Sun bears are especially fond of figs and stingless bees, which they can smell from far away.

Here at BSBCC, we provide a variety of fruits and vegetables in their diet. We also provide them with enrichment items like termites, dead logs with ants and seasonal fruits. Feeding times and spots are randomised to allow the bears to forage for their own food naturally.

As always, a big thank you to Yayasan Hasanah , Kementerian Kewangan  and Yayasan Sime Darby  for supporting BSBCC, allowing us to ensure the best lives for our 44 rescued bears.
