Sub Bear When people think of bears, they often imagine the big, fast and potentially dangerous kinds – polar, grizzly, brown and black. They often don’t think of sun bears, which are unlike any of their cousins. Sun bears are the smallest bears in the world, with many adults weighing under 100 pounds. But what really makes them stand out is their unusually long tongues, which can measure up to nine inches. Also known as "honey bears," sun bears climb trees to find honeycomb, and their tongues come in handy when they lick out their loot. Unfortunately, deforestation is contributing to population declines. But you can still find sun bears in southeast Asia where, unlike their North American cousins, they thrive in tropical forest environments. The Islands of Sumatra and Borneo are particularly good places to access their habitat. #info #EverythingsInfo
